One such case id when Joseph presented his two sons to his father to receive their blessings, he presented Manasseh as the older child as was the custom to receive the primary blessing, but Israel said that Ephraim was to receive that blessing. Then, there was Isaac, Jacob’s father that was deceived into giving the primary blessing to Jacob rather than to the elder son Esau.

To me, the apostles that were in communication with Hoffman were seeking to learn the truth, even though that “truth” would have been caused some more controversy concerning the succession process of the prophet of the church.
