Genesis 48:16
The angel who redeemed me from all evil — A great deal of hardship he had known in his time, but God had graciously kept him from the evil of his troubles. Christ, the angel of the covenant is he that redeems us from all evil. It becomes the servants of God, when they are old and dying, to witness for our God that they have found him gracious. Joseph had placed his children so, as that Jacob's right — hand should be put on the head of Manasseh the eldest, Genesis 48:12-13, but Jacob would put it on the head of Ephraim the youngest, Genesis 48:14. This displeased Joseph, who was willing to support the reputation of his first — born and would therefore have removed his father's hands, Genesis 48:17-18, but Jacob gave him to understand that he knew what he did, and that he did it neither by mistake nor in a humour, nor from a partial affection to one more than the other, but from a spirit of prophecy. |

The (e) Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my (f) name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
(e) This angel must be understood to be Christ, as in (Genesis 31:13, Genesis 32:1).

nd let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.” This
declaration is summed up by one word or verb in the Hebrew original, “va'yid'goo”- this
being the only place in Scripture where it is found. In fact, in normative Hebrew this
verb does not exist at all. It is as if YHVH had specifically “invented” the verb for this
prophetic blessing. The only comparable term in English would be the equally non-
existent “and they will fishize,” meaning, “they will become or turn into fish.” Thus,
millennia later when the Messiah called his disciples to become fishers of men (ref.
Matthew 4:19), which fish did He have in mind
