Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Genesis 48:1-22

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's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 48:17-18

‘And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim it displeased him, and he held up his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.” ’ Joseph is upset. As a father he wants his sons to be treated fairly (possibly he remembers what the result was of his father’s favouritism). He is so incensed that he interrupts the blessing. Joseph’s... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 48:1-22

Genesis 47:27 to Genesis 48:22 . Jacob Extracts an Oath that Joseph will Bury him in Canaan, and Blesses Ephraim and Manasseh. Genesis 47:22 f., Genesis 48:3-Joshua : belong to P. To J Genesis 47:29-Obadiah : may be assigned. Genesis 48:1 f., Genesis 48:8-Song of Solomon : was formerly attributed to E, recent critics assign it to JE. The analysis is somewhat as follows: E, Genesis 48:1-Exodus : a, Genesis 48:8-1 Samuel : a, Genesis 48:10 b, Genesis 48:11 f., Genesis 48:15 f., Genesis 48:20... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 48:8-20

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 48:12. And Joseph brought them out from between his knees.] “His,” i.e., Jacob’s. He was in a sitting posture, and in embracing them had drawn them between his knees.—Genesis 48:14. And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head.] This is the first mention of the imposition of hands in blessing. Also used for the investiture of office. In both senses, retained by the Christian Church (Numbers 27:18; Numbers 27:23; Deuteronomy 24:9; Matthew... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 48:1-22

Genesis 48:0 and 49 (with Deuteronomy 33:0 and Judges 5:0 ) Jacob's blessing of his sons marks the close of the patriarchal dispensation. Henceforth the channel of God's blessing to man does not consist of one person only, but of a people or nation. As the patriarchal dispensation ceases it secures to the tribes all the blessing it has itself contained. The distinguishing features which Jacob depicts in the blessing of his sons were found in all the generations of the tribes, and displayed... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 48:1-22

Chapter 48So it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, your father's sick ( Genesis 48:1 ):He's dying.and so Joseph grabbed his two sons to go and visit his father for the last time, Manasseh and Ephraim. And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, your son Joseph is coming unto you: and so Israel gathered together his strength, and he sat up on the bed. And Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, and he said unto me,... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 48:1-22

Genesis 48:1. His two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. We here see again with what alacrity, reverence and devotion the sons of the holy patriarchs awaited the final benediction of their departing Sires, while the children after the flesh paid no regard to it. God had on special occasions appeared to the patriarchs, and blessed them and their seed. The believing children therefore awaited it at the hands and from the prophetic spirit of their sires, being assured that they had a right to confer... read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 48:18

Gen 48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this [is] the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. Ver. 18. Not so, my father, &c. ] Here are a couple of holy prophets differing in their judgments; yet not about the substance of the blessing, but the circumstance of it. Wonder not though such things still fall out in the true Church, and the doctors be likewise divided in points less material, and that touch not the foundation. Luther interprets those words of... read more
