SEV Biblia, Chapter 48:15
Y bendijo a José, y dijo: El Dios en cuya presencia anduvieron mis padres Abraham e Isaac, el Dios que me mantiene desde que yo soy hasta este día,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 48:15
Verse 15. He blessed Joseph] The father first, and then the sons afterwards. And this is an additional proof to what has been adduced under ver. 12, of Jacob's superiority; for the less is always blessed of the greater. The God which fed me all my life long] Jacob is now standing on the verge of eternity, with his faith strong in God. He sees his life to be a series of mercies; and as he had been affectionately attentive, provident, and kind to his most helpless child, so has God been unto him; he has fed him all his life long; he plainly perceives that he owes every morsel of food which he has received to the mere mercy and kindness of God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-22 - The two good men own God in their comforts. Joseph says, They are m sons whom God has given me. Jacob says, God hath showed me thy seed Comforts are doubly sweet to us when we see them coming from God' hand. He not only prevents our fears, but exceeds our hopes. Jaco mentions the care the Divine providence had taken of him all his days A great deal of hardship he had known in his time, but God kept his from the evil of his troubles. Now he was dying, he looked upon himsel as redeemed from all sin and sorrow for ever. Christ, the Angel of the covenant, redeems from all evil. Deliverances from misery and dangers by the Divine power, coming through the ransom of the blood of Christ in Scripture are often called redemption. In blessing Joseph's sons Jacob crossed hands. Joseph was willing to support his first-born, an would have removed his father's hands. But Jacob acted neither by mistake, nor from a partial affection to one more than the other; but from a spirit of prophecy, and by the Divine counsel. God, in bestowin blessings upon his people, gives more to some than to others, mor gifts, graces, and comforts, and more of the good things of this life He often gives most to those that are least likely. He chooses the wea things of the world; he raises the poor out of the dust. Grace observe not the order of nature, nor does God prefer those whom we thin fittest to be preferred, but as it pleases him. How poor are they wh have no riches but those of this world! How miserable is a death-bed to those who have no well-grounded hope of good, but dreadfu apprehensions of evil, and nothing but evil for ever __________________________________________________________________
