Genesis 48:1,2 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Nothing can be more interesting than the closing scene of the life of the faithful. Joshua 23:14. No doubt Manasseh and Ephraim felt an impression which all their lives did not obliterate. It is good to introduce the young and the gay into such solemn scenes as death. Ecclesiastes 7:2.

Genesis 48:1-2

1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
