Genesis 49:22 (a) This is a picture of the blessed and fruitful influence of Joseph in the life of all nations when he was governor of Egypt. It is also a picture of the blessed effect that his life and his words were to have on following generations. It also indicates that no servant of GOD should confine his gifts and talents to one group of believers. All of GOD's servants are to serve all of GOD's people as much as possible.
