Standing at Dad's Deathbed Part 2

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 words contain both insight into the individual character of each of his sons as well as prophecies concerning their futures.
