In this class, we delve into Torah portion Vayechi, focusing on the poetic blessings and prophecies in Genesis 48–49. These chapters reveal a clear agenda by the biblical writers to elevate Joseph and Judah as leading tribes, setting the stage for the unfolding of Israel's history. We’ll examine Jacob’s poignant words to his sons, spoken on his deathbed, which are described as predictions of what will befall them in the "latter days." Join us as we explore the deeper meanings behind these blessings, uncover the narrative's theological intent, and consider how these texts might connect to Israel's prophetic destiny.
