Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries Other versions say, Darby The blessings of thy father surpass the blessings of my ancestors, Unto the bounds of the everlasting hills:..... MKJV The blessings of your father are above the blessings of my ancestors, to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills...... And yet in the Literal Version it says, LITV The blessings of your father are above the blessings of my offspring, to the limit of everlasting hills; The King James Dictionary says, Progenitors Ancestors; parents. In the context it can only mean his ancestors as he is talking to Joseph and his brothers and saying that those same blessings shall be on Joseph. Blessings are recieved through Faith in the promises of God. Find a promise, believe it for yourself, recieve it, speak it. Let it become a confession of your faith. God Bless Yosepy |
