Then Jacob
The name "Jacob" is derived from the Hebrew root "Ya'akov," meaning "to follow" or "to be behind," often interpreted as "supplanter" or "holder of the heel." Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites, is a central figure in Genesis. His life is marked by struggles and divine encounters, reflecting the journey of faith and transformation. At this point in Genesis, Jacob is an elderly man, having experienced a lifetime of God's faithfulness and covenant promises. His presence in Egypt signifies the unfolding of God's plan to preserve His people during a time of famine.

blessed
The Hebrew word for "blessed" is "barak," which means to kneel, to praise, or to invoke divine favor. In the ancient Near Eastern context, blessings were significant, often seen as conveying power and favor from God. Jacob's act of blessing Pharaoh is profound, as it demonstrates the spiritual authority and dignity of God's chosen people, even in a foreign land. It also reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that through his descendants, all nations would be blessed (Genesis 12:3).

Pharaoh
Pharaoh, the title for the king of Egypt, represents the pinnacle of earthly power and authority in the ancient world. Egypt was a dominant civilization known for its wealth, culture, and influence. The encounter between Jacob and Pharaoh is a meeting of two worlds: the covenant people of God and the might of a pagan empire. Jacob's blessing of Pharaoh signifies the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty over all nations and the potential for God's grace to reach beyond the boundaries of Israel.

and departed
The phrase "and departed" indicates a respectful conclusion to the meeting. In Hebrew, the word "yatsa" means to go out or to exit. Jacob's departure from Pharaoh's presence marks the end of a significant encounter, one that underscores the transient nature of human interactions compared to the eternal purposes of God. It also highlights the humility and grace with which Jacob, a man of God, conducts himself in the presence of earthly power.

from his presence
The phrase "from his presence" emphasizes the formal and respectful nature of the meeting. In the ancient world, appearing before a king was a significant event, often involving protocol and ceremony. Jacob's presence before Pharaoh is not just a political or social encounter but a divine appointment. It serves as a reminder that God's people are called to be ambassadors of His kingdom, bringing His presence and blessing into every sphere of life, even before the rulers of this world.
