  • Does God owe me anything? : God owes us nothing. Point ! Jacob's blessings demonstrate this principle. Among his sons, those who thought they were due are not the ones who finally have the great blessings. God always acts with justice and grace.
  • Does God owe me anything? (Genesis 48) : Bible NEG 1979: Genesis 4 8 1. After these things, they came and said to Joseph, Behold, your father is sick. And he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 2. They warned Jacob, and said to him, Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you. And Israel gathered together his strength, and sat down on his bed. 3. Jacob said to Joseph: Almighty God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me. 4. He said to me, I will make you fruitful, I will multiply you, and I will make you a multitude of peoples; I will give this country to your posterity after you, to possess it forever. 5. Now the two sons who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt shall be mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, like Reuben and Simeon.

    • BBE summary for : Genesis 48

    Summary: In Genesis 48, Jacob, who is nearing the end of his life, calls for his son Joseph and his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, to receive his blessing. Jacob adopts Joseph's sons as his own, elevating them to the status of his other children, which underscores the theme of the importance of family and legacy. Jacob then intentionally places his right hand on Ephraim, the younger son, instead of Manasseh, the firstborn, thereby signifying a reversal of the customary blessing order. This act illustrates the idea that God's plans may differ from human expectations, emphasizing themes of divine providence and the empowerment of the less likely. Jacob shares prophetic blessings for both boys, highlighting their roles in the future of Israel. The chapter concludes with a powerful reminder of God’s covenant promises to Jacob and his ancestors, reaffirming the ongoing relationship between God and His chosen people.
