Midrash sobre Génesis 47:2

Said Raba to Rabba bar Mari: "Whence do we deduce the following people's saying: With the shrub the cabbage is smitten (the good suffer with the bad)?" He answered: "From the following verse (Jer. 2, 29) Wherefore will ye contend with me? Ye all (including the righteous) have transgressed against Me, saith the Lord." "You deduce it from this verse," said he to him, "but I deduce it from the following (Ex. 16, 28) How long refuse ye to keep My commandments," etc. (Ye includes also Moses and Aaron). Raba said again to Rabba bar Mari: "It is written (Gen. 47, 2) And from among his brothers, he took five men. Who were the five?" He replied: "Thus said R. Jochanan: Those whose names were mentioned twice in the benediction of Moses." But is not Judah's name also mentioned twice? Judah's name was mentioned twice for another purpose, as R. Samuel b. Nachmeni said in the name of R. Jonathan concerning the passage (Deut. 33, 6)

(Devarim 33:18) "And of Zevulun he said": Because it is written (Bereshith 47:2) "And from the 'edge' of his brothers he (Joseph) took five men and presented them before Pharaoh," without specifying which men, here he does specify which (— those whose names were doubled.)

(Devarim 33:20) "And of Gad he said, etc.": Why is this written? Because it is written (Bereshith 47:2) "And from the 'edge' of his brothers he (Joseph) took five men and presented them to Pharaoh," here it is specified that he took them from those whose names were doubled, and Gad was one of them.

(Devarim, Ibid. 22) "And of Dan he said": Why is this written? Because it is written (Bereshith 47:2) "And from the 'edge' of his brothers he (Joseph) took five men and presented them to Pharaoh," here it is specified that he took them from those whose names were doubled, and Dan was one of them.

(Devarim, Ibid. 23) "And of Naftali he said": Why is this written? Because it is written (Bereshith 47:2, see above ["And of Gad he said"]).
