Jacob the Patriarch
Pope Shenouda III
Jacob succeeded in obtaining the blessing of his father, a great treasure sought by the sons at that time.
Blessings throughout human history came directly from God, from Him alone.
He blessed Adam and Eve (Gen 1: 28), Noah and his children (Gen 9: 1), and our father Abraham (Gen 12), the first to whom God said, "You shall be a blessing" (Gen 12: 2).
