Then Jacob, this man who has been grasping and scheming his entire life, says the most peaceful words he has ever spoken: ‘Now I am ready to die.’ Not because life is over, but because its deepest wound has been healed. The chapter ends with another crossed-hands blessing—Jacob deliberately placing his right hand on the younger Ephraim rather than the firstborn Manasseh. Joseph protests, but Jacob knows exactly what he is doing. The God of this family has been choosing the younger over the elder since the beginning: Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau, Rachel over Leah. The pattern is deliberate. Grace does not follow the expected order of things. It never has.00:00 Jacob and Joseph Reunited01:00 Settling in Goshen03:00 The Famine Economy06:00 Jacob’s Final Request07:00 Blessing Ephraim and Manasseh09:00 The Crossed HandsBuy Immerse Beginnings today!4 Questions to get your conversations started:1.    What stood out to you this week?2.    Was there anything confusing or troubling?3.    Did anything make you think differently about God?4.    How might this change the way we live?QUICK START GUIDE3 ways to get the most out of your experience1.    Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible.
