SEV Biblia, Chapter 48:10
Y los ojos de Israel estaban ya tan agravados de la vejez, que no podía ver. Y les hizo llegar a él, y él los besó y abrazó.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-22 - The two good men own God in their comforts. Joseph says, They are m sons whom God has given me. Jacob says, God hath showed me thy seed Comforts are doubly sweet to us when we see them coming from God' hand. He not only prevents our fears, but exceeds our hopes. Jaco mentions the care the Divine providence had taken of him all his days A great deal of hardship he had known in his time, but God kept his from the evil of his troubles. Now he was dying, he looked upon himsel as redeemed from all sin and sorrow for ever. Christ, the Angel of the covenant, redeems from all evil. Deliverances from misery and dangers by the Divine power, coming through the ransom of the blood of Christ in Scripture are often called redemption. In blessing Joseph's sons Jacob crossed hands. Joseph was willing to support his first-born, an would have removed his father's hands. But Jacob acted neither by mistake, nor from a partial affection to one more than the other; but from a spirit of prophecy, and by the Divine counsel. God, in bestowin blessings upon his people, gives more to some than to others, mor gifts, graces, and comforts, and more of the good things of this life He often gives most to those that are least likely. He chooses the wea things of the world; he raises the poor out of the dust. Grace observe not the order of nature, nor does God prefer those whom we thin fittest to be preferred, but as it pleases him. How poor are they wh have no riches but those of this world! How miserable is a death-bed to those who have no well-grounded hope of good, but dreadfu apprehensions of evil, and nothing but evil for ever __________________________________________________________________
