After Jacob blesses Joseph and his two sons (Genesis 48), he calls all of his sons to his bed to give a prophetic word concerning their tribal families in the future. He emphasizes how that one day the tribe of Judah and a descendant from Judah will eclipse even Joseph to reign over the entire world. But, for the near future, Joseph’s tribal family (Ephraim) will have the preeminence. Finally, he charges them all to bury him in the ancestral tomb, and the light goes out from Jacob’s eyes and he dies.
