SEV Biblia, Chapter 49:25
del Dios de tu padre, el cual te ayudarį, y del Omnipotente, el cual te bendecirį con bendiciones de los cielos de arriba, con bendiciones del abismo que estį abajo, con bendiciones de los pechos y del vientre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:25
Verse 25. The God of thy father] How frequently God is called the God of Jacob none needs be told who reads the Bible. God All-sufficient] Instead of yd ta ETH Shaddai, THE Almighty or All-sufficient; I read yl la EL Shaddai, GOD All-sufficient; which is the reading of the Samaritan, Septuagint, Syriac, and Coptic, and of three reputable MSS. In the collections of Kennicott and Deuteronomy Rossi.The copies used by those ancient versions had evidently la EL, God, and not ta eth, THE, a mistake produced in later times. On the word yd la El Shaddai, See on ""chap. xvii. 1"".
The blessing of the heavens from above] A generally pure, clear, serene sky, frequently dropping down fertilizing showers and dews, so as to make a very fruitful soil and salubrious atmosphere.
Blessings lying in the deep beneath] Whatever riches could be gained from the sea or rivers, from mines and minerals in the bowels of the earth, and from abundant springs in different parts of his inheritance. Our translation of this line is excessively obscure: Blessings of the deep that lieth under. What is it that lies under the deep: By connecting tkrb bircoth, blessings, with txbr robetseth, lying, all ambiguity is avoided, and the text speaks a plain and consistent sense.
The blessings of the breasts and of the womb.] A numerous offspring, and an abundance of cattle. The progeny of Joseph, by Ephraim and Manasseh, amounted at the first census or enumeration (Numbers 1.) to 75, 900 men, which exceeded the sum of any one tribe; Judah, the greatest of the others, amounting to no more than 74, 600. Indeed, Ephraim and Manasseh had multiplied so greatly in the days of Joshua, that a common lot was not sufficient for them. See their complaint, Josh. xvii. 14.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-27 - The blessing of Joseph is very full. What Jacob says of him, is histor as well as prophecy. Jacob reminds him of the difficulties and fier darts of temptations he had formerly struggled through. His faith di not fail, but through his trials he bore all his burdens with firmness and did not do anything unbecoming. All our strength for resistin temptations, and bearing afflictions, comes from God; his grace i sufficient. Joseph became the shepherd of Israel, to take care of his father and family; also the stone of Israel, their foundation an strong support. In this, as in many other things, Joseph was remarkable type of the Good Shepherd, and tried Corner Stone of the whole church of God. Blessings are promised to Joseph's posterity typical of the vast and everlasting blessings which come upon the spiritual seed of Christ. Jacob blessed all his sons, but especiall Joseph, "who was separated from his brethren." Not only separated i Egypt, but, possessing eminent dignity, and more devoted to God. O Benjamin it is said, He shall ravin as a wolf. Jacob was guided in what he said by the Spirit of prophecy, and not by natural affection; els he would have spoken with more tenderness of his beloved son Benjamin Concerning him he only foresees and foretells, that his posterit should be a warlike tribe, strong and daring, and that they shoul enrich themselves with the spoils of their enemies; that they should be active. Blessed Paul was of this tribe, Ro 11:1; Php 3:5; he, in the morning of his day, devoured the prey as a persecutor, but in the evening divided the spoils as a preacher; he shared the blessings of Judah's Lion, and assisted in his victories.
