VIII. MAIN BODY:

Genesis 49:26 (Amplified Bible)

The blessings of your father [on you] are greater than the blessings of my forefathers [Abraham and Isaac on me] and are as lasting as the bounties of the eternal hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was the consecrated one and the one separated from his brethren and [the one who] is prince among them.

Genesis 49:26 (King James Version)

The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

A. Joseph is blessed more than Abraham and Isaac

"The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills:"

Ephesians 1:3 (Amplified Bible)

May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm!

Psalms 89:36 (Amplified Bible)

His Offspring shall endure forever, and his throne [shall continue] as the sun before Me.

Isaiah 54:10 (Amplified Bible)

For though the mountains should depart and the hills be shaken or removed, yet My love and kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace and completeness be removed, says the Lord, Who has compassion on you.

If you see how the bible called the blessings and bounties of Joseph that are much better than Abraham and Isaac, then our blessings and bouties are much better than Joseph's because the Seed of Abraham dwells within us, inside of us.

Joseph's name means "let him add". His name always adds blessings of whatever GOD had already given to us during creation.

B. These bounties and blessings will rest on the head of Joseph, and he will head his brothers.

"they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren"

Acts 7:9 (Amplified Bible)

And the patriarchs [Jacob’s sons], boiling with envy and hatred and anger, sold Joseph into slavery in Egypt; but God was with him,

Genesis 37:11 (Amplified Bible)

Joseph’s brothers envied him and were jealous of him, but his father observed the saying and pondered over it.

Isaiah 66:5 (Amplified Bible)

Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at His word: Your brethren who hate you, who cast you out for My name’s sake, have said, Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy! But it is they who shall be put to shame.
