Génesis 48:4 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 48:4

And said unto me, behold, I will make thee fruitful
In a spiritual sense, in grace and good works; in a literal sense, in an increase of worldly substance, and especially of children: and multiply thee;
make his posterity numerous as the sand of the sea: and I will make of thee a multitude of people;
a large nation, consisting of many tribes, even a company of nations, as the twelve tribes of Israel were; and I will give this land unto thy seed after thee, [for] an
everlasting possession;
the land of Canaan, they were to possess as long as they were the people of God, and obedient to his law; by which obedience they held the land, even unto the coming of the Messiah, whom they rejected, and then they were cast out, and a "Loammi" (i.e. not my people, ( Hosea 1:9 ) ) written upon them, and their civil polity, as well as church state, at an end: and besides, Canaan was a type of the eternal inheritance of the saints in heaven, the spiritual Israel of God, which will be possessed by them to all eternity.

Génesis 48:4 In-Context

2 Cuando José llegó, le dijeron a Jacob que su hijo José había venido a verlo. Entonces Jacob
cobró fuerzas y se incorporó en su cama.
3 Jacob le dijo a José:
—El Dios Todopoderoso
se me apareció en la aldea de Luz, en la tierra de Canaán, y me bendijo
4 con estas palabras: “Te haré fructífero y multiplicaré tu descendencia. Haré de ti una multitud de naciones, y daré esta tierra de Canaán a tus descendientes
como posesión perpetua”.
5 »Ahora reclamo como hijos míos a estos dos muchachos tuyos, Efraín y Manasés, quienes nacieron aquí en la tierra de Egipto antes de que yo llegara. Ellos serán mis hijos, como lo son Rubén y Simeón.
6 Pero cualquier otro hijo que te nazca en el futuro será tuyo, y heredará tierra dentro de los límites de los territorios de sus hermanos Efraín y Manasés.
