Genesis 49:22

JOSEPH— (Genesis 49:22-26)

a fruitful bough, etc.—denotes the extraordinary increase of that tribe (compare Numbers 1:33-35; Joshua 17:17; Deuteronomy 33:17). The patriarch describes him as attacked by envy, revenge, temptation, ingratitude; yet still, by the grace of God, he triumphed over all opposition, so that he became the sustainer of Israel; and then he proceeds to shower blessings of every kind upon the head of this favorite son. The history of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh shows how fully these blessings were realized.
