This week we read about the end of Jacob's life as he blesses Joseph and his sons as his own and then blesses all of his sons, each receiving a unique blessing that was specific and customized just for them. Can you picture the gravity of the moment when the man whom God renamed "Israel," the father of the men whose descendants would become God's chosen people, was at the end of his life and, with his last bit of strength, utters out his prophetic blessings on his sons...the good, the bad, and the ugly. After he breathed his last, what remained was the legacy of a nation from whom would one day come the Messaiah, Christ Jesus, Savior of the World!
Genesis 48-49a
