Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"This chapter helps us understand Jacob's character and the importance of family relationships. Jacob was an affectionate father who wept over Joseph's disappearance and grieved when Simeon was imprisoned in Egypt. Jacob, now a loving grandfather, kisses and embraces his grandchildren. Surprisingly, Jacob adopts the two sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, as his own sons. This was a way of honoring the memory of his beloved wife Rachel, whom he dearly wished could witness that moment with the grandchildren. Thus, the prophecy given to Joseph, that he would have a double portion among his brethren, came to be fulfilled. Jacob refers to God as the benefactor of his life– the One who appeared to him in a moment of great need as he fled to save his life, and the One who promised to bless him with many offspring (verses 3-4). Jacob bears witness that God sustained him and delivered him from all evil, and he pleads with God to bless the children of Joseph (verses 15-16). Jacob's words and deeds reveal the intimacy of his walk with God. Lord, help us to reveal your character to others, especially in the family circle." โค๏ธ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/48 Our accounts in other social networks:
