And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who [are] these?
Ver. 8. Who are these?] Here Jacob, seeing Joseph's two sons, and now first understanding who they were, breaks off his speech to Joseph, till the two last verses of the chapter, and starts blessing his sons; teaching us to be "ready to every good word and work," Tit 3:1 laying hold of every hint that God puts into our hands, accounting it a mercy that we may have opportunity.
