I
Jacob asks only
one thing of Joseph. When I
die, please bring me home.

II
Multiply like fish
Jacob asks for Joseph’s sons.
Try to picture that.

III
Ephraim and his
brother Manasseh. May we
always be like them.

IV
Jacob knew his kids
so well. Thought up the perfect
blessing for each one.

V
I hope Asher was
not disappointed with his
olive oil blessing.

VI
Army of Jews and
Egyptians take Jacob home.
Our first Exodus.

VII
Joseph too leaves the
story. He has left us so
strong and so strengthened.
