Jacob's Blessing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacob's blessing refers to the blessings of the dying ancestor Jacob for the future twelve tribes of Israel in Gen 49.3–27  GNB and Gen. a. by comparing animals. These tribal sayings are likely to have originated independently of each other during the time of the conquest or the so-called judges .

Jakob blessing of the title is also one in Kassel issued painting of Rembrandt , the Jakobs blessing his grandchildren Ephraim and Manasseh in gene from 48.17 to 20  GNB represents.
