Génesis 48:15-16

15 Luego bendijo a José con las siguientes palabras:
«Que el Dios delante del cual caminaron
mi abuelo Abraham y mi padre Isaac
—el Dios que ha sido mi pastor
toda mi vida, hasta el día de hoy,

16 el Ángel que me ha salvado de todo mal—
bendiga a estos muchachos.
Que ellos preserven mi nombre
y el nombre de Abraham y de Isaac.
Y que su descendencia se multiplique en gran manera
por toda la tierra».

Génesis 48:15-16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 48

Joseph, hearing that his father Jacob was sick, paid him a visit, Ge 49:1,2; at which time Jacob gave him an account of the Lord's appearing to him at Luz, and of the promise he made unto him, Ge 49:3,4; then he adopted his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, and blessed them, and Joseph also, Ge 49:5-16; and whereas he crossed his hands when he blessed the sons of Joseph, putting his right hand on the youngest, and his left hand on the eldest, which was displeasing to Joseph, he gave him a reason for so doing, Ge 49:17-20; and then assured him that God would bring him, and the rest of his posterity, into the land of Canaan, where he assigned him a particular portion above his brethren, Ge 49:21,22.
