  • Isaiah 41:1
    “Keep silence before Me, O coastlands,
    And let the people renew their strength!
    Let them come near, then let them speak;
    Let us come near together for judgment.

     
  • Genesis 48:19-22
    But his father refused and said, 'I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations.' So he blessed them that day, saying, “By you Israel will bless, saying, ‘May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh!’” And thus he set Ephraim before Manasseh. Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers. Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.”

     
  • Genesis 49:22-33
    "Joseph is a fruitful bough,
    A fruitful bough by a well;
    His branches run over the wall. The archers have bitterly grieved him,
    Shot at him and hated him. But his bow remained in strength,
    And the arms of his hands were made strong
    By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob
    (From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel), By the God of your father who will help you,
    And by the Almighty who will bless you
    With blessings of heaven above,
    Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
    Blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of your father
    Have excelled the blessings of my ancestors,
    Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills.
    They shall be on the head of Joseph,
    And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers. “ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf;
    In the morning he shall devour the prey,
    And at night he shall divide the spoil.” All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them. And he blessed them; he blessed each one according to his own blessing. Then he charged them and said to them: “I am to be gathered to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite as a possession for a burial place. There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah. The field and the cave that is there were purchased from the sons of Heth.” And when Jacob had finished commanding his sons, he drew his feet up into the bed and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.

     
  • Deuteronomy 33:13-29
    And of Joseph he said:
    " Blessed of the LORD is his land,
    With the precious things of heaven, with the dew,
    And the deep lying beneath, With the precious fruits of the sun,
    With the precious produce of the months, With the best things of the ancient mountains,
    With the precious things of the everlasting hills, With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,
    And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush.
    Let the blessing come "on the head of Joseph,
    And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers." His glory is like a firstborn bull,
    And his horns like the horns of the wild ox;
    Together with them
    He shall push the peoples
    To the ends of the earth;
    They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
    And they are the thousands of Manasseh." And of Zebulun he said:
    “ Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
    And Issachar in your tents! They shall call the peoples to the mountain;
    There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness;
    For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas
    And of treasures hidden in the sand.” And of Gad he said:
    “ Blessed is he who enlarges Gad;
    He dwells as a lion,
    And tears the arm and the crown of his head. He provided the first part for himself,
    Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there.
    He came with the heads of the people;
    He administered the justice of the LORD,
    And His judgments with Israel.” And of Dan he said:
    “Dan is a lion’s whelp;
    He shall leap from Bashan.” And of Naphtali he said:
    “O Naphtali, satisfied with favor,
    And full of the blessing of the LORD,
    Possess the west and the south.” And of Asher he said:
    “Asher is most blessed of sons;
    Let him be favored by his brothers,
    And let him dip his foot in oil. Your sandals shall be iron and bronze;
    As your days, so shall your strength be.There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,
    Who rides the heavens to help you,
    And in His excellency on the clouds. The eternal God is your refuge,
    And underneath are the everlasting arms;
    He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
    And will say, ‘Destroy!’ Then Israel shall dwell in safety,
    The fountain of Jacob alone,
    In a land of grain and new wine;
    His heavens shall also drop dew. Happy are you, O Israel!
    Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD,
    The shield of your help
    And the sword of your majesty!
    Your enemies shall submit to you,
    And you shall tread down their high places.'
     
  • Isaiah 49:12
    Surely these shall come from afar;
    Look! Those from the north and the west,
    And these from the land of Sinim.'

     
  • Jeremiah 31:10
    ' Hear the word of the LORD, O nations,
    And declare it in the isles afar off, and say,
    ' He who scattered Israel will gather him,
    And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.'

     
  • Isaiah 49:1
    “Listen, O coastlands, to Me,
    And take heed, you peoples from afar!
    The LORD has called Me from the womb;
    From the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name.

     
  • Hosea 12:1
    'Ephraim feeds on the wind,
    And pursues the east wind;
    He daily increases lies and desolation.
    Also they make a covenant with the Assyrians,
    And oil is carried to Egypt.

     
  • Amos 9:9
    " For surely I will command,
    And will sift the house of Israel among all nations,
    As grain is sifted in a sieve;
    Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground.
