Hebrews 11:21

Hebrews 11:21. By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

Grasping that memorable staff with which he "passed over this Jordan,"-that staff on which he leaned so heavily when the wrestling angel made him go limping over Penuel,-that staff which was a memorial of the breaking down which he had suffered when he gained the name of Israel by prevailing with his God,-on that staff he leaned as he "blessed both the sons of Joseph."
