Beloved brother, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon you a patriarchal or father's blessing; even all the blessings of the everlasting priesthood that was sealed upon Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and upon the children of Joseph in the land of Egypt, for this is thy lineage, and thy name shall be had in honorable remembrance in the Church through thy posterity from generation to generation. Thou shalt be blessed in thy basket and in thy store. Thou shalt have an inheritance in the land of Zion, a very great plantation. Thou shalt have all kinds of beast and carriages, shall have servants and handmaidens that will delight to obey thy voice. Thou shalt pass through afflictions and not be troubled. Thou shalt not be beset by the hand of the destroyer. Thou shalt have the ministering of angels which shall teach you great wisdom. Finally, thou shalt have the riches of eternal life. Thy posterity shall be numerous almost as the stars of heaven. You shall live, if you desire it, to see the winding up scene of this generation and bring thy father's house to a knowledge of salvation and be satisfied with life forever. Even so Amen. |
In the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon you a father's blessing, even all the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Thou art of the blood of Abraham and a lawful heir to the priesthood which shall be conferred upon you in due time. You shall have an inheritance in Zion with the children of Joseph, be a councilor in the House of Israel, be filled with wisdom and the Holy Ghost, be appointed to preach the gospel to many kindred, tongue, and people. At your rebuke the sea shall be still. You shall do any work that shall be necessary for the gathering of Israel. Your posterity shall be numerous and great in the priesthood. You shall live to see the winding up scene of wickedness, see and converse with your Redeemer, and inherit all the blessings of his kingdom with all your father's house. Even so, Amen. |
