One’s thoughts are so powerful,
Especially in old age,
The thought not only affects himself,
But also, it affects the people
It intends to, indeed,
Like in the tradition, the old people bless the young.
When Jacob heard Joseph alive,
He fainted.
Then they moved to Egypt, as Joseph arranged.
When they saw King Pharaoh,
Jacob gave his blessing,
They settled in Goshen, a very rich land indeed.
Jacob lived a hundred and fifty years old,
He asked when he died, be buried in the same place,
With Abraham and Isaac, at Hebron.
Then came the blessing on the two sons of Joseph,
The older Manasseh, the younger Ephraim,
But Jacob placed his right hand on Ephraim.
I know what I am doing,
Though Jacob’s eyes were dim with age.
It came true, the descendants of Ephraim,
Much greater and more powerful than his brother’s.
When Jacob died,
His sons buried him as he wished.
