Standing at Dad's Deathbed Part 1

Death draws near for Jacob in this section of Genesis and he calls his sons to give them a final Patriarchal prophecy and blessing. Jacob first has an audience with Joseph and his two sons (Chap. 48), then he summons all his sons to his deathbed for his final words (Chap. 49).

Jacob's prophecy makes a fascinating study. It contains shrewd insight into the individual character of each of his sons who would form the heads of Israel's twelve tribes as well as prophetic insights for their futures.
