“And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,”
Jacob said to Joseph: God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and there he blessed me. The recitation of the Bethel theophany — El Shaddai appeared to me at Luz — grounds the blessing in its covenant source. Jacob traces the inheritance back to its origin before transmitting it. The application: the blessing given from a covenant foundation carries the weight of the original encounter. Jacob blesses from what he received at Bethel.
