Genesis 27:39 (King James Version)
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
- Behold
- 36:6-8 Joshua 24:4 ; Hebrews 11:20
- the fatness
- or, of the fatness.
- 27:28
- It is here foretold, says Bp. Newton, that as to temporal advantages, the two brothers should be much alike
- (See ver. 28.) Esau had cattle, beasts, and substance in abundance, and
- he went to dwell in Mount Seir of his own accord. When the Israelites desired leave to pass through the territories of Edom, the country abounded with fruitful fields and vineyards. ( Numbers 20:17 .)
