In this study, we examine Genesis 47:27–48:22 — Jacob’s final days and his blessing upon Joseph’s sons.

In this passage we see:
• Israel settling in Goshen and multiplying
• Jacob nearing death
• Jacob making Joseph swear to bury him in Canaan
• Jacob recalling God’s covenant promise
• Ephraim and Manasseh brought before Jacob
• Jacob adopting them as his own
• The younger (Ephraim) placed before the older (Manasseh)
• The blessing crossing hands
• The continuation of covenant promise through Joseph’s line

This section highlights God’s sovereign choice once again. As before, the younger is placed ahead of the older — not by accident, but by divine purpose.

Genesis 48 reminds us that God’s covenant purposes do not follow human custom or expectation. The promise continues according to God’s will.

As always, I encourage you to:
• Read the passage carefully for yourself
• Compare Scripture with Scripture
• Seek understanding directly from God’s Word

These studies walk through the text verse by verse. They are not a substitute for your own reading, prayer, and discernment. The authority is Scripture — not the opinions of any teacher.
