Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 48:11

Observe how Jacob refers all mercies into GOD'S gift. Reader are you a partaker of divine grace? Are you a parent also? And have you a well-grounded hope that any of your offspring are partakers of divine grace? And is there nothing in this expression of the Patriarch's, suited to your case? Can you not say, I had not thought that I should have been brought into the bonds of the covenant being so utterly unworthy: and yet GOD hath showed me my seed also in the mercy? Romans 11:33 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 48:8-22

8-22 The two good men own God in their comforts. Joseph says, They are my sons whom God has given me. Jacob says, God hath showed me thy seed. Comforts are doubly sweet to us when we see them coming from God's hand. He not only prevents our fears, but exceeds our hopes. Jacob mentions the care the Divine providence had taken of him all his days. A great deal of hardship he had known in his time, but God kept him from the evil of his troubles. Now he was dying, he looked upon himself as redeemed... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 48:8-22

The Blessing upon Ephraim and Manasseh v. 8. And Israel beheld Joseph's sons and said, Who are these? The eyes of Jacob being dim with age, he had not noticed the presence of the two young men till now. v. 9. And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them. Till now they had stood at a respectful distance, as becomes young people in the presence of their elders. v. 10. Now the eyes... read more

NINTH SECTIONJacob’s sickness. His blessing of his grandchildren. Joseph’s sons. Genesis 48:1-221And it came to pass, after these things, that one1 told Joseph, Behold, thy father Isaiah 2:0 sick; and he took with him his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim. And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee; and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. 3And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz [Bethel] in the land of Canaan, and blessed me. 4And... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 48:8-22

Jacob Blesses Joseph’s Sons Genesis 48:8-22 By his act in blessing them, Jacob reversed the verdict of birth, and gave the younger the birthright. Probably there were qualities in Ephraim which naturally put him in the foremost place. The Bible is full of hope for younger sons. He spoke of the Angel, Jehovah, so often referred to in the Old Testament, and who can be no other than the Son of God. He also is our Shepherd, Guardian and Friend. He will feed and tend us all our life long. He... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 48:1-22

The use of the two names is observed once more. Jacob was sick, but, hearing that Joseph was coming to see him, it was Israel that strengthened himself. Once again Jacob was the speaker and in what he said the planning of the schemer was still evident. Yet how wonderfully the divine overruling is seen, for in Jacob's adoption of Ephraim and Manasseh the redemption of Joseph from Egypt was brought about. Joseph had married an Egyptian woman and occupied a place of peculiar power in Egypt. What... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 48:10

‘Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age so that he could not see. And he brought them near to him and he kissed them and embraced them.’ Having adopted them as full sons he now draws them to him and kisses and embraces them. The mention of his blindness is to explain the awkwardness of the whole event. read more
