Genesis 48:17
"the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”"
Key Reflection
This verse speaks of divine protection and blessing. Jacob, on his deathbed, invokes the angel who has safeguarded him from evil, asking for blessings on Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh, equating them to his own noble lineage, Abraham and Isaac. It underscores the continuity of God’s redemptive work through generations.
