TSNTyndale Study Notes:

48:1-22 In blessing Ephraim and Manasseh, Jacob reached out by faith for the promise to be continued, having learned that God’s ways are not always the ways of men. Out of Jacob’s long life, the writer to the Hebrews selected the blessing of Joseph’s sons as his great act of faith (Heb 11:21). As Jacob acted in light of God’s will, the primary blessing was again given to the younger instead of the older son, but without scheming and its bitter results.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֗⁠י

and=he/it_said to=me

Make sure your translation of “blessed … and said” (verses 3-4) refers to the same event, not two separate events. Alternate translation: “He said,”

הִנְ⁠נִ֤י מַפְרְ⁠ךָ֙ וְ⁠הִרְבִּיתִ֔⁠ךָ וּ⁠נְתַתִּ֖י⁠ךָ

behold,I make_~_fruitful,you and,numerous,your and,make,you

See how you translated “make you fruitful and multiply you” in Gen 28:3 and “make him fruitful and … multiply him” in Gen 17:20. Alternate translation: “Look I will give you many descendants who will increase in number and become” or “Look I will give you and your descendants many children so that your descendants will become”

לִ⁠קְהַ֣ל עַמִּ֑ים

of,company peoples

See how you translated this phrase in Gen 28:3, and a similar phrase (“a community of nations”) in 35:11. Alternate translation: “many ethnic groups.”

אֲחֻזַּ֥ת עוֹלָֽם

possession everlasting

Alternate translation: “for an eternal possession.” or “and it will always belong to them.”
