Jacob's final days teach us that God's perspective differs from ours—no one is "less than" in His divine economy. Faith principles emerge as Jacob blesses Joseph's sons, preferring the younger Ephraim over firstborn Manasseh, illustrating how God can elevate anyone to fulfill His purposes.

This quick episode covers:

• Jacob recounts God's faithfulness across generations when blessing Joseph's sons
• Despite Joseph's protest, Jacob intentionally blesses the younger son (Ephraim) over the firstborn
• Jacob's blessing of Joseph's Egyptian-born sons incorporates them into Israel's covenant
• Jacob's burial instructions reflect his enduring faith in God's promises about the Promised Land
• The pattern of blessing younger sons appears repeatedly throughout Genesis
• Jacob's life journey from deception to faith offers hope for spiritual transformation
