The Last Words of Jacob

The last words of Jacob were words of blessing to his twelve sons. It’s true that some of these blessings read more like curses, but, in the end, it’s a blessing to be included at all. In spite of their checkered past, each brother will still populate the Twelve Tribes and receive a share of the Promised Land. Jacob’s final blessings contain important lessons on sin, grace, and our ultimate hope.
