창세기 48:8 KRV

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

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 48:8

‘And Israel became aware of Joseph’s sons and said, “Who are these?” The old man is blind (Genesis 48:10) and he has only been aware of Joseph, but now he becomes aware of two others with him and asks who they are. 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 48:8

For Jacob’s eyes were dim through age and infirmity, as is observed Genesis 48:10, and therefore he could not distinctly discern them. 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

William Nicoll

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

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
