Jacob’s Blessing

Joseph takes his sons to Jacob Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh They shall be as my own sons Ephraim, the younger, shall be the

greater Through his sons, Joseph gets a

double portion

Future of the Sons Rueben: Acknowledged as his firstborn, the

beginning of Jacob’s strength he was unstable as water and would not excel because he had defiled his father’s bed in committing fornication with Bilhah.

Simeon / Levi: named as brethren because of their cruelty. Jacob cursed their anger and wrath because it was fierce and cruel. They would be divided and scattered in Israel. (Remember Shechem)

Future of the Sons Judah: The scepter would not depart from

Judah (49:10) His brethren would praise him and bow before him. Compared to a lion in different stages of life. Through his lineage Christ would come.

Zebulun: Would dwell on the sea and be a haven for ships, and his border would be Zidon.

Issachar: Compared to a strong donkey carrying two burdens. Would become a servant to tribute.

Future of the Sons Dan: Would judge his people (one of the

judges of Israel – Samson). Referred to as an adder by the way (snake in grass) Judges 18:27

Gad: A troop would overcome him, but he would overcome in the end.

Asher: His bread would be fat and he would yield royal dainties.

Naphtali: A hind (dear) let loose. He would give goodly words.

Future of the Sons

Joseph: A fruitful bough. Would be made strong by God even when others hated him. Blessings would prevail upon him.

Benjamin: As a raving wolf in the morning would devour the prey. At night he would divide the spoil.
