| all these are the twelve tribes of Israel--or ancestors. Jacob's prophetic words obviously refer not so much to the sons as to the tribes of Israel. |

blessed them
Jacob's life, ending in serenity and blessing, testifies to the power of God to transform character. His spiritual progress has six notable phases:
(1) the first exercise of faith, as shown in the purchase of the birthright (Gen 25:28-34); (Gen 27:10-22).
(2) the vision at bethel (Gen 28:10-19).
(3) walking in the flesh (Gen 29:1-31); (Gen 29:55).
(4) the transforming experience (Gen 32:24-31).
(5) the return to Bethel: idols put away (Gen 35:1-7).
(6) the walk of faith (Gen 37:1-49); (Gen 37:33). |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The concluding words in Gen 49:28, "All these are the tribes of Israel, twelve," contain the thought, that in his twelve sons Jacob blessed the future tribes. "Every one with that which was his blessing, he blessed them," i.e., every one with his appropriate blessing (אשׁר accus. dependent upon בּרך which is construed with a double accusative); since, as has already been observed, even Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, though put down through their own fault, received a share in the promised blessing. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Every one according to his blessing - That is, guided by the unerring Spirit of prophecy, Jacob now foretold to each of his sons all the important events which should take place during their successive generations, and the predominant characteristic of each tribe; and, at the same time, made some comparatively obscure references to the advent of the Messiah, and the redemption of the world by him. |
33 And he knew it [05234], and said [0559], It is my son's [01121] coat [03801]; an evil [07451] beast [02416] hath devoured [0398] him; Joseph [03130] is without doubt [02963] rent in pieces [02963].
1 And Jacob [03290] dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] wherein his father [01] was a stranger [04033], in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667].
2 These are the generations [08435] of Jacob [03290]. Joseph [03130], being seventeen [06240] [07651] years [08141] old [01121], was feeding [07462] the flock [06629] with his brethren [0251]; and the lad [05288] was with the sons [01121] of Bilhah [01090], and with the sons [01121] of Zilpah [02153], his father's [01] wives [0802]: and Joseph [03130] brought [0935] unto his father [01] their evil [07451] report [01681].
3 Now Israel [03478] loved [0157] Joseph [03130] more than all his children [01121], because he was the son [01121] of his old age [02208]: and he made [06213] him a coat [03801] of many colours [06446].
4 And when his brethren [0251] saw [07200] that their father [01] loved [0157] him more than all his brethren [0251], they hated [08130] him, and could [03201] not speak [01696] peaceably [07965] unto him.
5 And Joseph [03130] dreamed [02492] a dream [02472], and he told [05046] it his brethren [0251]: and they hated [08130] him yet the more [03254].
6 And he said [0559] unto them, Hear [08085], I pray you, this dream [02472] which I have dreamed [02492]:
7 For, behold, we were binding [0481] [08432] sheaves [0485] in the field [07704], and, lo, my sheaf [0485] arose [06965], and also stood upright [05324]; and, behold, your sheaves [0485] stood round about [05437], and made obeisance [07812] to my sheaf [0485].
8 And his brethren [0251] said [0559] to him, Shalt thou indeed [04427] reign [04427] over us? or shalt thou indeed [04910] have dominion [04910] over us? And they hated [08130] him yet the more [03254] for his dreams [02472], and for his words [01697].
9 And he dreamed [02492] yet another [0312] dream [02472], and told [05608] it his brethren [0251], and said [0559], Behold, I have dreamed [02492] a dream [02472] more; and, behold, the sun [08121] and the moon [03394] and the eleven [06240] [0259] stars [03556] made obeisance [07812] to me.
10 And he told [05608] it to his father [01], and to his brethren [0251]: and his father [01] rebuked [01605] him, and said [0559] unto him, What is this dream [02472] that thou hast dreamed [02492]? Shall I and thy mother [0517] and thy brethren [0251] indeed [0935] come [0935] to bow down [07812] ourselves to thee to the earth [0776]?
11 And his brethren [0251] envied [07065] him; but his father [01] observed [08104] the saying [01697].
12 And his brethren [0251] went [03212] to feed [07462] their father's [01] flock [06629] in Shechem [07927].
13 And Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], Do not thy brethren [0251] feed [07462] the flock in Shechem [07927]? come [03212], and I will send thee [07971] unto them. And he said [0559] to him, Here am I.
14 And he said [0559] to him, Go [03212], I pray thee, see [07200] whether it be well [07965] with thy brethren [0251], and well [07965] with the flocks [06629]; and bring [07725] me word [01697] again [07725]. So he sent [07971] him out of the vale [06010] of Hebron [02275], and he came [0935] to Shechem [07927].
15 And a certain man [0376] found him [04672], and, behold, he was wandering [08582] in the field [07704]: and the man [0376] asked him [07592], saying [0559], What seekest [01245] thou?
16 And he said [0559], I seek [01245] my brethren [0251]: tell [05046] me, I pray thee, where [0375] they feed [07462] their flocks.
17 And the man [0376] said [0559], They are departed [05265] hence [02088]; for I heard [08085] them say [0559], Let us go [03212] to Dothan [01886]. And Joseph [03130] went [03212] after [0310] his brethren [0251], and found [04672] them in Dothan [01886].
18 And when they saw [07200] him afar off [07350], even before he came near [07126] unto them, they conspired [05230] against him to slay [04191] him.
19 And they said [0559] one [0376] to another [0251], Behold, this [01976] dreamer [01167] [02472] cometh [0935].
20 Come [03212] now therefore, and let us slay [02026] him, and cast [07993] him into some [0259] pit [0953], and we will say [0559], Some evil [07451] beast [02416] hath devoured [0398] him: and we shall see [07200] what will become of his dreams [02472].
21 And Reuben [07205] heard [08085] it, and he delivered [05337] him out of their hands [03027]; and said [0559], Let us not kill [05221] [05315] him.
22 And Reuben [07205] said [0559] unto them, Shed [08210] no blood [01818], but cast [07993] him into this pit [0953] that is in the wilderness [04057], and lay [07971] no hand [03027] upon him; that he might rid [05337] him out of their hands [03027], to deliver [07725] him to his father [01] again [07725].
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph [03130] was come [0935] unto his brethren [0251], that they stript [06584] [0853] Joseph [03130] out of [0854] his coat [03801], his coat [03801] of many colours [06446] that was on him;
24 And they took [03947] him, and cast [07993] him into a pit [0953]: and the pit [0953] was empty [07386], there was no water [04325] in it.
25 And they sat down [03427] to eat [0398] bread [03899]: and they lifted up [05375] their eyes [05869] and looked [07200], and, behold, a company [0736] of Ishmeelites [03459] came [0935] from Gilead [01568] with their camels [01581] bearing [05375] spicery [05219] and balm [06875] and myrrh [03910], going [01980] to carry it down [03381] to Egypt [04714].
26 And Judah [03063] said [0559] unto his brethren [0251], What profit [01215] is it if we slay [02026] our brother [0251], and conceal [03680] his blood [01818]?
27 Come [03212], and let us sell [04376] him to the Ishmeelites [03459], and let not our hand [03027] be upon him; for he is our brother [0251] and our flesh [01320]. And his brethren [0251] were content [08085].
28 Then there passed [05674] by Midianites [04084] merchantmen [0582] [05503]; and they drew [04900] and lifted up [05927] Joseph [03130] out of the pit [0953], and sold [04376] Joseph [03130] to the Ishmeelites [03459] for twenty [06242] pieces of silver [03701]: and they brought [0935] Joseph [03130] into Egypt [04714].
29 And Reuben [07205] returned [07725] unto the pit [0953]; and, behold, Joseph [03130] was not in the pit [0953]; and he rent [07167] his clothes [0899].
30 And he returned [07725] unto his brethren [0251], and said [0559], The child [03206] is not; and I, whither [0575] shall I go [0935]?
31 And they took [03947] Joseph's [03130] coat [03801], and killed [07819] a kid [08163] of the goats [05795], and dipped [02881] the coat [03801] in the blood [01818];
32 And they sent [07971] the coat [03801] of many colours [06446], and they brought [0935] it to their father [01]; and said [0559], This have we found [04672]: know [05234] now whether it be thy son's [01121] coat [03801] or no.
33 And he knew it [05234], and said [0559], It is my son's [01121] coat [03801]; an evil [07451] beast [02416] hath devoured [0398] him; Joseph [03130] is without doubt [02963] rent in pieces [02963].
34 And Jacob [03290] rent [07167] his clothes [08071], and put [07760] sackcloth [08242] upon his loins [04975], and mourned [056] for his son [01121] many [07227] days [03117].
35 And all his sons [01121] and all his daughters [01323] rose up [06965] to comfort [05162] him; but he refused [03985] to be comforted [05162]; and he said [0559], For I will go down [03381] into the grave [07585] unto my son [01121] mourning [057]. Thus his father [01] wept [01058] for him.
36 And the Midianites [04092] sold [04376] him into Egypt [04714] unto Potiphar [06318], an officer [05631] of Pharaoh's [06547], and captain [08269] of the guard [02876].
1 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], Arise [06965], go up [05927] to Bethel [01008], and dwell [03427] there: and make [06213] there an altar [04196] unto God [0410], that appeared [07200] unto thee when thou fleddest [01272] from the face [06440] of Esau [06215] thy brother [0251].
2 Then Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto his household [01004], and to all that were with him, Put away [05493] the strange [05236] gods [0430] that are among you [08432], and be clean [02891], and change [02498] your garments [08071]:
3 And let us arise [06965], and go up [05927] to Bethel [01008]; and I will make [06213] there an altar [04196] unto God [0410], who answered [06030] me in the day [03117] of my distress [06869], and was with me in the way [01870] which I went [01980].
4 And they gave [05414] unto Jacob [03290] all the strange [05236] gods [0430] which were in their hand [03027], and all their earrings [05141] which were in their ears [0241]; and Jacob [03290] hid [02934] them under the oak [0424] which was by Shechem [07927].
5 And they journeyed [05265]: and the terror [02847] of God [0430] was upon the cities [05892] that were round about [05439] them, and they did not pursue [07291] after [0310] the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290].
6 So Jacob [03290] came [0935] to Luz [03870], which is in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], that is, Bethel [01008], he and all the people [05971] that were with him.
7 And he built [01129] there an altar [04196], and called [07121] the place [04725] Elbethel [0416]: because there God [0430] appeared [01540] unto him, when he fled [01272] from the face [06440] of his brother [0251].
24 And Jacob [03290] was left [03498] alone; and there wrestled [079] a man [0376] with him until the breaking [05927] of the day [07837].
25 And when he saw [07200] that he prevailed [03201] not against him, he touched [05060] the hollow of his thigh [03409]; and the hollow [03709] of Jacob's [03290] thigh [03409] was out of joint [03363], as he wrestled [079] with him.
26 And he said [0559], Let me go [07971], for the day [07837] breaketh [05927]. And he said [0559], I will not let thee go [07971], except [0518] thou bless [01288] me.
27 And he said [0559] unto him, What is thy name [08034]? And he said [0559], Jacob [03290].
28 And he said [0559], Thy name [08034] shall be called [0559] no more Jacob [03290], but Israel [03478]: for as a prince hast thou power [08280] with God [0430] and with men [0582], and hast prevailed [03201].
29 And Jacob [03290] asked [07592] him, and said [0559], Tell [05046] me, I pray thee, thy name [08034]. And he said [0559], Wherefore is it [02088] that thou dost ask [07592] after my name [08034]? And he blessed [01288] him there.
30 And Jacob [03290] called [07121] the name [08034] of the place [04725] Peniel [06439]: for I have seen [07200] God [0430] face [06440] to face [06440], and my life [05315] is preserved [05337].
31 And as he passed over [05674] Penuel [06439] the sun [08121] rose [02224] upon him, and he halted [06760] upon his thigh [03409].

1 Then Jacob [03290] went on [05375] his journey [07272], and came [03212] into the land [0776] of the people [01121] of the east [06924].
2 And he looked [07200], and behold a well [0875] in the field [07704], and, lo, there were three [07969] flocks [05739] of sheep [06629] lying [07257] by it; for out of that well [0875] they watered [08248] the flocks [05739]: and a great [01419] stone [068] was upon the well's [0875] mouth [06310].
3 And thither were all the flocks [05739] gathered [0622]: and they rolled [01556] the stone [068] from the well's [0875] mouth [06310], and watered [08248] the sheep [06629], and put [07725] the stone [068] again [07725] upon the well's [0875] mouth [06310] in his place [04725].
4 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto them, My brethren [0251], whence [0370] be ye? And they said [0559], Of Haran [02771] are we.
5 And he said [0559] unto them, Know [03045] ye Laban [03837] the son [01121] of Nahor [05152]? And they said [0559], We know [03045] him.
6 And he said [0559] unto them, Is he well [07965]? And they said [0559], He is well [07965]: and, behold, Rachel [07354] his daughter [01323] cometh [0935] with the sheep [06629].
7 And he said [0559], Lo [02005], it is yet high [01419] day [03117], neither is it time [06256] that the cattle [04735] should be gathered together [0622]: water [08248] ye the sheep [06629], and go [03212] and feed [07462] them.
8 And they said [0559], We cannot [03201], until all the flocks [05739] be gathered together [0622], and till they roll [01556] the stone [068] from the well's [0875] mouth [06310]; then we water [08248] the sheep [06629].
9 And while he yet [05750] spake [01696] with them, Rachel [07354] came [0935] with her father's [01] sheep [06629]: for she kept them [07462].
10 And it came to pass, when Jacob [03290] saw [07200] Rachel [07354] the daughter [01323] of Laban [03837] his mother's [0517] brother [0251], and the sheep [06629] of Laban [03837] his mother's [0517] brother [0251], that Jacob [03290] went near [05066], and rolled [01556] the stone [068] from the well's [0875] mouth [06310], and watered [08248] the flock [06629] of Laban [03837] his mother's [0517] brother [0251].
11 And Jacob [03290] kissed [05401] Rachel [07354], and lifted up [05375] his voice [06963], and wept [01058].
12 And Jacob [03290] told [05046] Rachel [07354] that he was her father's [01] brother [0251], and that he was Rebekah's [07259] son [01121]: and she ran [07323] and told [05046] her father [01].
13 And it came to pass, when Laban [03837] heard [08085] the tidings [08088] of Jacob [03290] his sister's [0269] son [01121], that he ran [07323] to meet [07125] him, and embraced [02263] him, and kissed [05401] him, and brought [0935] him to his house [01004]. And he told [05608] Laban [03837] all these things [01697].
14 And Laban [03837] said [0559] to him, Surely [0389] thou art my bone [06106] and my flesh [01320]. And he abode [03427] with him the space [03117] of a month [02320].
15 And Laban [03837] said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], Because thou art my brother [0251], shouldest thou therefore serve [05647] me for nought [02600]? tell [05046] me, what shall thy wages [04909] be?
16 And Laban [03837] had two [08147] daughters [01323]: the name [08034] of the elder [01419] was Leah [03812], and the name [08034] of the younger [06996] was Rachel [07354].
17 Leah [03812] was tender [07390] eyed [05869]; but Rachel [07354] was beautiful [03303] [08389] and well [03303] favoured [04758].
18 And Jacob [03290] loved [0157] Rachel [07354]; and said [0559], I will serve [05647] thee seven [07651] years [08141] for Rachel [07354] thy younger [06996] daughter [01323].
19 And Laban [03837] said [0559], It is better [02896] that I give [05414] her to thee, than that I should give [05414] her to another [0312] man [0376]: abide [03427] with me.
20 And Jacob [03290] served [05647] seven [07651] years [08141] for Rachel [07354]; and they seemed [05869] unto him but a few [0259] days [03117], for the love he had [0160] to her.
21 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto Laban [03837], Give [03051] me my wife [0802], for my days [03117] are fulfilled [04390], that I may go in [0935] unto her.
22 And Laban [03837] gathered together [0622] all the men [0582] of the place [04725], and made [06213] a feast [04960].
23 And it came to pass in the evening [06153], that he took [03947] Leah [03812] his daughter [01323], and brought [0935] her to him; and he went in [0935] unto her.
24 And Laban [03837] gave [05414] unto his daughter [01323] Leah [03812] Zilpah [02153] his maid [08198] for an handmaid [08198].
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning [01242], behold, it was Leah [03812]: and he said [0559] to Laban [03837], What is this thou hast done [06213] unto me? did not I serve [05647] with thee for Rachel [07354]? wherefore then hast thou beguiled [07411] me?
26 And Laban [03837] said [0559], It must not be so done [06213] in our country [04725], to give [05414] the younger [06810] before [06440] the firstborn [01067].
27 Fulfil [04390] her [02063] week [07620], and we will give [05414] thee this also for the service [05656] which thou shalt serve [05647] with me yet seven [07651] other [0312] years [08141].
28 And Jacob [03290] did [06213] so, and fulfilled [04390] her week [07620]: and he gave [05414] him Rachel [07354] his daughter [01323] to wife [0802] also.
29 And Laban [03837] gave [05414] to Rachel [07354] his daughter [01323] Bilhah [01090] his handmaid [08198] to be her maid [08198].
30 And he went in [0935] also unto Rachel [07354], and he loved [0157] also Rachel [07354] more than Leah [03812], and served [05647] with him yet seven [07651] other [0312] years [08141].
31 And when the LORD [03068] saw [07200] that Leah [03812] was hated [08130], he opened [06605] her womb [07358]: but Rachel [07354] was barren [06135].
10 And Jacob [03290] went out [03318] from Beersheba [0884], and went [03212] toward Haran [02771].
11 And he lighted [06293] upon a certain place [04725], and tarried there all night [03885], because the sun [08121] was set [0935]; and he took [03947] of the stones [068] of that place [04725], and put [07760] them for his pillows [04763], and lay down [07901] in that place [04725] to sleep [07901].
12 And he dreamed [02492], and behold a ladder [05551] set up [05324] on the earth [0776], and the top of it [07218] reached [05060] to heaven [08064]: and behold the angels [04397] of God [0430] ascending [05927] and descending [03381] on it.
13 And, behold, the LORD [03068] stood [05324] above it, and said [0559], I am the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085] thy father [01], and the God [0430] of Isaac [03327]: the land [0776] whereon thou liest [07901], to thee will I give it [05414], and to thy seed [02233];
14 And thy seed [02233] shall be as the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], and thou shalt spread abroad [06555] to the west [03220], and to the east [06924], and to the north [06828], and to the south [05045]: and in thee and in thy seed [02233] shall all the families [04940] of the earth [0127] be blessed [01288].
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep [08104] thee in all places whither [0834] thou goest [03212], and will bring thee again [07725] into this land [0127]; for I will not leave [05800] thee, until [0834] I have done [06213] that which I have spoken [01696] to thee of.
16 And Jacob [03290] awaked [03364] out of his sleep [08142], and he said [0559], Surely [0403] the LORD [03068] is [03426] in this place [04725]; and I knew [03045] it not.
17 And he was afraid [03372], and said [0559], How dreadful [03372] is this place [04725]! this is none other but the house [01004] of God [0430], and this is the gate [08179] of heaven [08064].
18 And Jacob [03290] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and took [03947] the stone [068] that he had put [07760] for his pillows [04763], and set it up [07760] for a pillar [04676], and poured [03332] oil [08081] upon the top of it [07218].
19 And he called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Bethel [01008]: but [0199] the name [08034] of that city [05892] was called Luz [03870] at the first [07223].
10 And thou shalt bring [0935] it to thy father [01], that he may eat [0398], and that [0834] he may bless [01288] thee before [06440] his death [04194].
11 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] to Rebekah [07259] his mother [0517], Behold, Esau [06215] my brother [0251] is a hairy [08163] man [0376], and I am a smooth [02509] man [0376]:
12 My father [01] peradventure will feel [04959] me, and I shall seem [05869] to him as a deceiver [08591]; and I shall bring [0935] a curse [07045] upon me, and not a blessing [01293].
13 And his mother [0517] said [0559] unto him, Upon me be thy curse [07045], my son [01121]: only obey [08085] my voice [06963], and go [03212] fetch [03947] me them.
14 And he went [03212], and fetched [03947], and brought [0935] them to his mother [0517]: and his mother [0517] made [06213] savoury meat [04303], such as his father [01] loved [0157].
15 And Rebekah [07259] took [03947] goodly [02532] raiment [0899] of her eldest [01419] son [01121] Esau [06215], which were with her in the house [01004], and put them upon [03847] Jacob [03290] her younger [06996] son [01121]:
16 And she put [03847] the skins [05785] of the kids [01423] of the goats [05795] upon his hands [03027], and upon the smooth [02513] of his neck [06677]:
17 And she gave [05414] the savoury meat [04303] and the bread [03899], which she had prepared [06213], into the hand [03027] of her son [01121] Jacob [03290].
18 And he came [0935] unto his father [01], and said [0559], My father [01]: and he said [0559], Here am I; who art thou, my son [01121]?
19 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto his father [01], I am Esau [06215] thy firstborn [01060]; I have done [06213] according as thou badest [01696] me: arise [06965], I pray thee, sit [03427] and eat [0398] of my venison [06718], that thy soul [05315] may bless [01288] me.
20 And Isaac [03327] said [0559] unto his son [01121], How is it that thou hast found [04672] it so quickly [04116], my son [01121]? And he said [0559], Because the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] brought [07136] it to me [06440].
21 And Isaac [03327] said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], Come near [05066], I pray thee, that I may feel [04184] thee, my son [01121], whether thou be my very [02088] son [01121] Esau [06215] or not.
22 And Jacob [03290] went near [05066] unto Isaac [03327] his father [01]; and he felt [04959] him, and said [0559], The voice [06963] is Jacob's [03290] voice [06963], but the hands [03027] are the hands [03027] of Esau [06215].
28 And Isaac [03327] loved [0157] Esau [06215], because he did eat [06310] of his venison [06718]: but Rebekah [07259] loved [0157] Jacob [03290].
29 And Jacob [03290] sod [02102] pottage [05138]: and Esau [06215] came [0935] from the field [07704], and he was faint [05889]:
30 And Esau [06215] said [0559] to Jacob [03290], Feed [03938] me, I pray thee, with [04480] that same [0122] red [0122] pottage; for I am faint [05889]: therefore was his name [08034] called [07121] Edom [0123].
31 And Jacob [03290] said [0559], Sell [04376] me this day [03117] thy birthright [01062].
32 And Esau [06215] said [0559], Behold, I am at the point [01980] to die [04191]: and what profit shall this birthright [01062] do to me?
33 And Jacob [03290] said [0559], Swear [07650] to me this day [03117]; and he sware [07650] unto him: and he sold [04376] his birthright [01062] unto Jacob [03290].
34 Then Jacob [03290] gave [05414] Esau [06215] bread [03899] and pottage [05138] of lentiles [05742]; and he did eat [0398] and drink [08354], and rose up [06965], and went his way [03212]: thus Esau [06215] despised [0959] his birthright [01062].
28 All these are the twelve [06240] [08147] tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]: and this is it that their father [01] spake [01696] unto them, and blessed [01288] them; every [0834] one [0376] according to his blessing [01293] he blessed [01288] them.
