SEV Biblia, Chapter 49:23
Y le causaron amargura, y asaetearon, y le aborrecieron los señores de saetas;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:23
Verse 23. The chief archers] µyxj yl[b baaley chitstsim, the masters of arrows - Joseph's brethren, who either used such weapons, while feeding their flocks in the deserts, for the protection of themselves and cattle, or for the purpose of hunting; and who probably excelled in archery. It may however refer to the bitter speeches and harsh words that they spoke to and of him, for they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him, chap. xxxvii. 4. Thus they sorely afflicted him, and were incessantly scolding or finding fault.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-27 - The blessing of Joseph is very full. What Jacob says of him, is histor as well as prophecy. Jacob reminds him of the difficulties and fier darts of temptations he had formerly struggled through. His faith di not fail, but through his trials he bore all his burdens with firmness and did not do anything unbecoming. All our strength for resistin temptations, and bearing afflictions, comes from God; his grace i sufficient. Joseph became the shepherd of Israel, to take care of his father and family; also the stone of Israel, their foundation an strong support. In this, as in many other things, Joseph was remarkable type of the Good Shepherd, and tried Corner Stone of the whole church of God. Blessings are promised to Joseph's posterity typical of the vast and everlasting blessings which come upon the spiritual seed of Christ. Jacob blessed all his sons, but especiall Joseph, "who was separated from his brethren." Not only separated i Egypt, but, possessing eminent dignity, and more devoted to God. O Benjamin it is said, He shall ravin as a wolf. Jacob was guided in what he said by the Spirit of prophecy, and not by natural affection; els he would have spoken with more tenderness of his beloved son Benjamin Concerning him he only foresees and foretells, that his posterit should be a warlike tribe, strong and daring, and that they shoul enrich themselves with the spoils of their enemies; that they should be active. Blessed Paul was of this tribe, Ro 11:1; Php 3:5; he, in the morning of his day, devoured the prey as a persecutor, but in the evening divided the spoils as a preacher; he shared the blessings of Judah's Lion, and assisted in his victories.
