Jacob’s Prophetic Blessings to His Sons Before Death- Genesis Chapter 49
After Jacob blesses Joseph and his two sons (Genesis 48), he calls all of his sons to his bed to give a prophetic word concerning their tribal families in the future. He emphasizes how that one day the tribe of Judah and a descendant from Judah will eclipse even Joseph to reign over the entire world. But, for the near future, Joseph’s tribal family (Ephraim) will have the preeminence. Finally, he charges them all to bury him in the ancestral tomb, and the light goes out from Jacob’s eyes and he dies.
Jacob Blesses Joseph’s Sons – Genesis Chapter 48
Jacob falls sick and Joseph goes to his father so that he may bless him and his two sons before he dies. Jacob encourages them and tells them that God will be with them, just as He was with him. He adopts Joseph’s two sons in place of his own – Reuben and Simeon. Jacob then proceeds to bless Joseph’s two sons, giving the birthright to the younger son Ephraim over Manasseh, the eldest.
The Famine of Egypt Continues – Genesis Chapter 47
After Joseph prepares his brothers to meet Pharaoh, they are set before him. He inquires of their occupation; and they tell him that they are shepherds. The pharaoh welcomes them into Egypt and tells Josephs to set some of them as caretakers of his own livestock. Joseph then brings his father Jacob before the king; and Jacob blesses pharaoh – twice.
Jacob Goes Down To Egypt – Genesis Chapter 46
After Joseph reveals himself to his brothers, he tells them to return home and bring his father back to Egypt. There are still five years of famine left; so, if they all come to Egypt, there, Joseph could provide for them. This same gracious invitation is extended from the Pharaoh, as well. And the brothers return to Canaan to tell their father Jacob all that has transpired in Egypt and how that Joseph is still alive.

What makes us different?
Our Teaching Perspective
We know that everyone does not have a seminary background. And sometimes the jargon and language can be a little bit confusing. But who doesn’t want a really good understanding? So, our “style” (teaching approach) is focused on simple instruction. But, at the same time, the more advanced learners will also find a wealth of enriching information.
Our primary goal is to bring you doctrinally sound lessons in a way that is easy to understand.
You have several options to choose. You can watch our engaging videos or just listen when it’s not convenient.
And when you need a more complete and scholarly approach in your studies, we offer extensive notes.
Our online courses allow you to study and learn at your own pace. And when it’s most convenient for you!
Although we believe that solid, is an absolute necessity, it can sometimes be hard to see the forest for the trees. So, we have an outline to bring it all together.
When you are ready to dig deeper, our Online Courses are just for you! And best of all, you can study at your own pace!
