Where you find this verse
From this verse, the Word reaches
Fulfilled hereIsaiah 11:1
Root and offspring at once: a shoot out of the stock of Jesse grows from the root that is also His.
“A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.”
Fulfilled hereNumbers 24:17
The Bright and Morning Star: the star out of Jacob rises at last and names Himself.
“I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of Sheth.”
That reaches back to this verse
Fulfilled here (this verse)Genesis 49:10
The scepter's end and source meet in one person: I am the root and the offspring of David.
“The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. To him will the obedience of the peoples be.”
