Genesis 47-48 - Famine in Egypt and Jacob's Blessing

Why does Jacob bless Pharaoh instead of the other way around? In Genesis 47–48, we see Jacob and his family settle in Egypt during the famine, where God preserves them and multiplies them as a people. Pastor Paul explains how Jacob’s blessing of Pharaoh shows God’s greater authority, how Joseph’s wise leadership sustained Egypt, and how Jacob’s adoption of Ephraim and Manasseh gave Joseph a double portion. You’ll also learn how Jacob’s faith looked forward to God’s promises and how these blessings point to Christ, who brings salvation through unexpected lines.Subscribe today and don’t miss the next study.Subscribe to Through the Bible with Pastor Paul for verse-by-verse teaching through all 66 books of Scripture.
