On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

But the great difference is, that there is nothing in Esau's blessing that points at Christ, nothing that brings either him or his into the church, and without that the fatness of the earth, and the plunder of the field, will stand him in little stead. Thus Isaac by faith blessed them both, according as their lot should be.

(1.) It was a good thing, and better than he deserved. It was promised him, [1.] That he should have a competent livelihood-- the fatness of the earth, and the dew of heaven. Note, Those that come short of the blessings of the covenant may yet have a very good share of outward blessings.
