Jacob’s blessing to Joseph
Genesis 49:22
New King James Version (NKJV)
22 “Joseph is a fruitful bough,
A fruitful bough by a well;
His branches run over the wall.
Prophesy in Genesis
- Jesus is the fruitful bough
- A fruitful bough by a well = John 4:6 ( below )
- His branches run over the wall = Samaria is a gentile ( Non Jews ). Initially salvation was only for the Jews. Jesus brought Salvation to the world.

6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
John 15:5
