Genesis 27:37 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:37

And Isaac answered and said unto Esau
Giving an account of the blessing be had bestowed upon his brother: behold, I have made him thy lord;
the lord of his posterity, who would be subdued and become tributary to his seed: and all his brethren have I given to him for servants;
the Edomites, who sprung from his brother Esau, who, according to this prophetic blessing, became servants to David, who was a son of Jacob's, (See Gill on Genesis 27:29); and with corn and wine have I sustained him;
promised him a fruitful country, the land of Canaan, abounding with all good things, particularly with corn and wine, which are put for all the rest: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
what is there remains? what can be bestowed upon thee? there is nothing left; dominion over others, even over all nations, yea, over thyself and thy posterity, and plenty of all good things, are given already to Jacob; what is there to be done for thee, or thou canst expect?

37 Isaac answered, "I have already made him master over you, and I have made all his relatives his slaves. I have given him grain and wine. Now there is nothing that I can do for you, son!"

38 Esau continued to plead with his father: "Do you have only one blessing, father? Bless me too, father!" He began to cry.

39 Then Isaac said to him, "No dew from heaven for you, No fertile fields for you.
