Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jacob's Sons The forty-ninth chapter of Genesis is very picturesque. It has preserved for ages a group of family portraits. Jacob was the artist; his sons the subjects of his art. The patriarch, when about to die, assembled his twelve sons and spoke parting words to them. These words are pictures of the men. They have been called Jacob's Blessings on his Sons. The father, with a present discernment and a far-reaching vision, portrayed their characters and prophesied their destinies. To the patriarch each son presented striking peculiarities. Jacob assigned to each an appropriate symbol, a mirror of his life, showing what he was and what he was to be, reflecting character and destiny. These portraits, prophecies, symbols, have a tribal as well as a personal reference. They afford glimpses of the men and of their tribes. This book is an interpretation of the patriarchal scene.
