48:15-16 In his blessing on Joseph, Jacob used a threefold invocation to describe the God in whom he trusted: (1) the God who was in covenant with his fathers Abraham and Isaac (28:13; 31:5, 42; 32:9; 46:3); (2) the God who had been his shepherd (cp. 49:24; Exod 6:6; Ps 23:1; Isa 59:20); and (3) the Angel who rescued him from all harm. He prayed the same blessings for Joseph’s sons.
