DAY 48 OF 50

GENESIS 48

JACOB BLESSES MANASSEH + EPHRAIM

Jacob is getting old and passes on his blessings and inheritance. He gives his grandsons, the sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, the same inheritance as his own children.

While blessing them, Jacob crosses his arms and gives the greater blessing to Ephraim, the younger, instead of Manasseh, the firstborn. Joseph tries to correct him, but Jacob insists on Ephraim receiving the greater blessing.

STUDY QUESTIONS

How does Jacob’s blessing of Ephraim over Manasseh reflect his own story of receiving the blessing over Esau? What might this pattern reveal about how God works through unexpected people?
