Gênesis 49:23 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 49:23

The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and
hated him.
] His brethren who grieved him with their ill usage, shot out bitter words against him, and hated him for his dreams, and because his father loved him; and they could not speak peaceably to him, they mocked at him, conspired to kill him, stripped him of his clothes, cast him into a pit, and then sold him; in all which he was a type of Christ, as used by the Jews. His mistress also, and Satan by her, grieved him with her temptations and solicitations to sin, which were as fiery darts shot at him; but being resisted, her impure love was turned into hatred to him, and she shot her lies, calumnies, and reproaches, as so many darts at him; and, as the Targum of Jonathan, the magicians of Egypt, who envied him for his superior knowledge, and perhaps many others in Pharaoh's court, who were displeased at his preferments, might bring accusations to Pharaoh against him, out of hatred to him; and Satan and his principalities and powers, whose temptations are compared to fiery darts, are not to be exempted, which they shoot at and grieve the people of God, who are hated by them. Perhaps reference may be had to the wars of the posterity of Joseph under Joshua, who was of the tribe of Ephraim, with the Canaanites.

Gênesis 49:23 In-Context

21 “Naftali é uma gazela solta,que por isso faz festa.

22 “José é uma árvore frutífera,árvore frutífera à beira de uma fonte,cujos galhos passam por cima do muro.

23 Com rancor arqueiros o atacaram,atirando-lhe flechas com hostilidade.

24 Mas o seu arco permaneceu firme;os seus braços permaneceram fortes, ágeis para atirar,pela mão do Poderoso de Jacó,pelo nome do Pastor, a Rocha de Israel,

25 pelo Deus de seu pai, que ajuda você,o Todo-poderoso, que o abençoacom bênçãos dos altos céus,bênçãos das profundezas,bênçãos da fertilidade e da fartura.
