Adoption of Joseph's Sons. - Gen 48:1, Gen 48:2. After these events, i.e., not long after Jacob's arrangements for his burial, it was told to Joseph (ויּאמר "one said," cf. Gen 48:2) that his father was taken ill; whereupon Joseph went to him with his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, who were then 18 or 20 years old. On his arrival being announced to Jacob, Israel made himself strong (collected his strength), and sat up on his bed. The change of names is as significant here as in Gen 45:27-28. Jacob, enfeebled with age, gathered up his strength for a work, which he was about to perform as Israel, the bearer of the grace of the promise.

Thus Jacob's dying words are recorded, because he then spoke by a spirit of prophecy; Abraham's and Isaac's are not. God's gifts and graces shine forth much more in some saints than in others upon their death-beds. The Spirit, like the wind, blows where it listeth. In this chapter, I. Joseph, hearing of his father's sickness, goes to visit him, and takes his two sons with him (Gen 48:1, Gen 48:2). II. Jacob solemnly adopts his two sons, and takes them for his own (Gen 48:3-7). III. He blesses them (Gen 48:8-16). IV. He explains and justifies the crossing of his hands in blessing them (Gen 48:17-20). V. He leaves a particular legacy to Joseph (Gen 48:21, Gen 48:22).
افتح المصدر ↗48:15-16 In his blessing on Joseph, Jacob used a threefold invocation to describe the God in whom he trusted: (1) the God who was in covenant with his fathers Abraham and Isaac (28:13; 31:5, 42; 32:9; 46:3); (2) the God who had been his shepherd (cp. 49:24; Exod 6:6; Ps 23:1; Isa 59:20); and (3) the Angel who rescued him from all harm. He prayed the same blessings for Joseph’s sons.

وَلَمَّا كَانَ أَبْرَامُ ابْنَ تِسْعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ سَنَةً ظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ. سِرْ أَمَامِي وَكُنْ كَامِلاً،
بِالإِيمَانِ يَعْقُوبُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بَارَكَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنِ ابْنَيْ يُوسُفَ، وَسَجَدَ عَلَى رَأْسِ عَصَاهُ.
فَكَمَا قَبِلْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ الرَّبَّ اسْلُكُوا فِيهِ،
هُوَذَا الَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ أَنَا خَيْرًا، الَّذِي هُوَ حَسَنٌ: أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الإِنْسَانُ وَيَشْرَبَ وَيَرَى خَيْرًا مِنْ كُلِّ تَعَبِهِ الَّذِي يَتْعَبُ فِيهِ تَحْتَ الشَّمْسِ مُدَّةَ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ الَّتِي أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ إِيَّاهَا، لأَنَّهُ نَصِيبُهُ.
فَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «إِنَّكَ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي رَحْمَةً عَظِيمَةً حَسْبَمَا سَارَ أَمَامَكَ بِأَمَانَةٍ وَبِرّ وَاسْتِقَامَةِ قَلْبٍ مَعَكَ، فَحَفِظْتَ لَهُ هذِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ الْعَظِيمَةَ وَأَعْطَيْتَهُ ابْنًا يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ كَهذَا الْيَوْمِ.
وَلكِنْ ثَبَتَتْ بِمَتَانَةٍ قَوْسُهُ، وَتَشَدَّدَتْ سَوَاعِدُ يَدَيْهِ. مِنْ يَدَيْ عَزِيزِ يَعْقُوبَ، مِنْ هُنَاكَ، مِنَ الرَّاعِي صَخْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،
كُلُّ تَعَبِ الإِنْسَانِ لِفَمِهِ، وَمَعَ ذلِكَ فَالنَّفْسُ لاَ تَمْتَلِئُ.
هذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ نُوحٍ: كَانَ نُوحٌ رَجُلاً بَارًّا كَامِلاً فِي أَجْيَالِهِ. وَسَارَ نُوحٌ مَعَ اللهِ.
وَأُذُنَاكَ تَسْمَعَانِ كَلِمَةً خَلْفَكَ قَائِلَةً: «هذِهِ هِيَ الطَّرِيقُ. اسْلُكُوا فِيهَا». حِينَمَا تَمِيلُونَ إِلَى الْيَمِينِ وَحِينَمَا تَمِيلُونَ إِلَى الْيَسَارِ.
وَاللهُ الْقَدِيرُ يُبَارِكُكَ، وَيَجْعَلُكَ مُثْمِرًا، وَيُكَثِّرُكَ فَتَكُونُ جُمْهُورًا مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ.
