Jacob encourages them and tells them that God will be with them, just as He was with him. He adopts Joseph’s two sons in place of his own - Reuben and Simeon. Jacob then proceeds to bless Joseph’s two sons, giving the birthright to the younger son Ephraim over Manasseh, the eldest. Joseph objects but is over-ruled by his father Jacob. After blessing them, Jacob reveals to Joseph that he too will be returned back to the Land of Canaan. 00:00 - Review 04:54 - Jacob prepares to bless Joseph and his sons 12:03 - Jacob blesses Joseph’s sons - Ephraim as firstborn 14:58 - The blessing 20:58 - Joseph intervenes, but Jacob over-rules his objection 26:25 - Final thoughts
