Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:24

Genesis 49:24 These three names which we find here are striking and beautiful in themselves; in their juxtaposition; in their use on Jacob's lips. Look at them as they stand. I. The Mighty God of Jacob. The meaning of such a name is clear enough. It is He who has shown Himself mighty and mine by His deeds for me all through my life. The very vital centre of a man's religion is his conviction that God is his. The dying patriarch left to his descendants the legacy of this great Name. II. The... read more

DISCOURSE: 61JOSEPH A TYPE OF CHRISTGenesis 49:22-24. Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:1-33

Chapter 49And Jacob called his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days ( Genesis 49:1 ).This is probably the grandest hour of the old man Jacob. He had had some pretty rough hours. Life had been hard. As he said to the Pharaoh, "My days had been a hundred and thirty years and few and evil are the days of my pilgrim". They had been tough years. But he rose to the grandest hour in the hour of his death. Gathering his sons... read more

Genesis 49:2. Gather yourselves together. This phrase implies that they should come purified, and prepared for instruction. Genesis 49:3-4 . Reuben. Jacob here seems to enumerate the excellencies of Reuben, the more deeply to detest his crime; and after affirming that he should not excel in posterity, he turns towards his brethren, and adds, because he went up to my couch. But Dr. Lightfoot rather softens this translation. Reuben shall have a remnant of dignity, and a remnant of... read more
