I want to talk this week about patriarchal blessings. That is what the brothers received from their patriarch, their father. First, I’ll talk about the lineage we receive in our modern patriarchal blessings. Then I’ll talk of the specific blessings of each tribe, perhaps in a way you haven’t heard before. And lastly, I’ll talk about what a patriarchal blessing really means.
