| − | Commentators disagree regarding what Yaakov was trying to convey to Yosef in his blessing.  According to one approach, the message was aimed at the individual Yosef, and focused on how he overcame his own personal tribulations.  Ibn Ezra asserts that Yaakov spoke of Yosef's struggles with his brothers, while Rashbam has him focus instead on the attempted seduction by Mrs. Potiphar.  Rashi suggests that there are allusions to both events. | + | Commentators disagree regarding what Yaakov was trying to convey to Yosef in his blessing.  According to one approach, the message was aimed at the individual Yosef, and focused on how he overcame his own personal tribulations.  Ibn Ezra asserts that Yaakov spoke of Yosef's struggles with his brothers, while Rashbam has him focus instead on the attempted seduction by Mrs. Potiphar.  Rashi suggests that there are allusions to both events. Others assert that at least portions of the blessing related to the future rather than the past.  Thus, Ralbag and Hoil Moshe read the entire blessing as referring to the successes of Yosef's tribes, while Abarbanel, in contrast, maintains that Yaakov needed to relate to personal events in the life of Yosef, but only in order to explain the fate destined to the future tribe. |
