Hebrews 11:21

21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

Ver. 21. When he was a dying ] The Spirit’s motions are then many times quickest when natural motions are slowest; most sensible when the body begins to be senseless; most lively when the saints lie dying. The sun shines most amiably toward the descent. The rivers, the nearer they run to the sea, the sooner they are met by the tide. So here.
