Genesis 49:28-33 - Catholic Perspective
In Catholic tradition, Genesis 49:28-33 is interpreted as a pivotal moment in the unfolding of God's covenant with Israel. The blessings bestowed upon Jacob's sons serve as a foreshadowing of the establishment of the Twelve Tribes, which later find fulfillment in the Church, the New Israel, through the sacramental economy.
