Genesis 48:22

Gen. 48:22. "Which I took out of the hand of the Amorite." This he speaks in the language of a prophet, according to which a prophet is often said to do that which he foretells shall be done (see Jeremiah 1:10). And they often speak of future events in the past tense; or he may speak of himself as taking the land by conquest, because his posterity should do it. To call them himself is agreeable to the language of almost all his own prophecies. This passage is much illustrated by the next chapter, verse Genesis 49:7, and Genesis 27:37.
