Joseph. Whereas Jacob’s blessings regarding the four sons of the concubines were especially brief, and his prophecies in part as obscure as the later history of the tribes that descended from these four men, a great difference is found in the blessing upon the first-born son of his beloved Rachel. Now the patriarch’s heart swelled with great full love, and in the most expressive words and figures he besought unlimited blessing for Joseph.
