kenosis . . ?

To the Jews this phrase would have been familiar: It signified a father giving over his estate to his son. The father would take his son around to his creditors and say “this is my son in whom I am well pleased”. What that meant was that from then on when they saw the son it was as if they were dealing directly with the father in all affairs of the father’s estate.

Where did you find this?

An old Jew told me. No joke.

I need more than that....much more.

To carry it even further, the first born son was entitled to a double portion of the father‘s estate.

Since Jesus was the only begotten Son of God, He was given the titles of both Lord and Christ. Jesus could then rightfully say “all that the Father has is mine“. Those who believed understood this.

This is OT law


Acts 2:36 states Jesus is both Lord & Christ(Mesiah).
"an old Jew" is not considered a valid witness to me if he has written 100 books.
Folks depend on those as yourself as being accurate in the Word. Notice that nobody else gave it a second glance.
The Bereans didn't accept Paul's teachings until they searched the scriptures, why should I accept "an old Jew?"

Im glad you found a benefit it’s mostly thoughts from the book of Hebrews
that is a remarkable book as to Jesus Christ our high priest and intercessor

That perfect high priest and intercessor is what mankind was lacking and us what Hebrews really is centered upon it’s literally “ the subject “ the first 8 chapters are explaining all this about our high priest in heaven the lord Jesus after he went to heaven

“God ….hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:2-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. ( he became one of us in order to overcome death for all Of us )

For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2:14-17‬ ‭KJV‬

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; ( he made himself subject like a man is he became one of us )

though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭5:7-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchisedec. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. but this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭7:15-19, 22, 24-28‬ ‭

“Now of the things which we have spoken ( in the first 8 chapters ) this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬


Man got themselves in this situation

“God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭53:2-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So no one could intercede for mankind no one was a worthy intercessor and there was no worthy sacrifice for what mankind had done. he saw this and it displeased him so he became that intercessor

“Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:15-17, 19-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭47:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭48:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It’s simply part of Jewish history, nothing religious or spiritual about it. You could find it yourself but it would take some study.

I checked it in multiple commentaries & couldn't find it.
Normally I wouldn't give it another thought, but the way you mentioned it made it look like historical context.
Nothing personal, but we have to draw the line somewhere, & better a little tight than a little loose, right?

Are you meaning the double share to the first born son?

Deuteronomy 21:17 He must acknowledge the son of his unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double
share of all he has. That son is the first sign of his father’s strength. The right of the firstborn belongs to him.

No.

Doubtful you find it in commentaries. Simply put, most commentary authors are not broad in their studies.

But I’ve known it so long I can’t remember not knowing it. You will find it in Hebrew Traditional studies and Law. It is so common as to not be significant. It deals with the image of the prefect. Jesus referenced this when asked about paying taxes. “Whose head is on the coin?” The Romans, and other cultures, simply changed the coins to the head of their current ruler. There was no question by whose grace the currency was exchanged.

The practice of introducing sons to business creditors had similar, although more ancient, roots. Technically and officially, the father was declaring, “When you see the face of this man you know you are doing business with me.” We have a practice like that in U.S. law whereby the identity of someone may be confirmed by a notary: a person whose stamp and signature, under penalty of law, declares that a certain person authorized a transaction.

So, when the scripture in Hebrews records: “[the Son is ] the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person” this is a legal treatise declaring Christ as the representative of God. When did this occur? When the Father said “This is my Son, in whom I am well pleased”. The Jews, reading the appeal to be reconciled to God in Christ, in the book of Hebrews, would have connected the dots.

But, to leave no doubt, the mother of Jesus completed a similar confirmation when, at the wedding, she told the servants “Whatever He (Jesus) says to you, do it.” So, this confirmation occurred in earth and from heaven. But, I might point out, it happened in the natural first.
