Joseph is a fruitful bough . . . whose branches run over the wall (Genesis 49:29). I am the Vine, ye are the branches (John 15:5). A fruitful hough by a well (Genesis 49:22) In him a well of water (John 4:14). The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him (Genesis 49:23) A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3). His how abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob (Genesis 49:24) I have laid help upon One that is mighty (Psalms 89:19). From thence is the Shepherd (Genesis 49:24) That great Shepherd of the sheep (Hebrews 13:20). The stone of Israel (Genesis 49:24) The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner (Matthew

Not grieved for the affliction of Joseph (Amos 6:6) Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? (Lamentations 1:12). A new king (which knew not Joseph (Exodus 1:8) Which none of the princes of this world knew (1 Corinthians 2:8). The house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts (Joshua 18:5) Abide in Me, and I in you (John 15:4).

Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, (saying, Thou art a great people and hast great power

(Joshua 17:17).

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me (Php 4:13).

I am a great people forasmuch as the Lord hath blessed me hitherto (Joshua 17:14) Blessed with all spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3). The hand of the house of Joseph prevailed (Judges 1:35) More than conquerors through Him that loved us (Romans 8:37).
