Genesis27:28
28 Therefore, God give thee of the dew of heaven , and the fatness of the earth , and plenty of corn and wine.
Or, will give. For it is both a prayer and a prophesie.
He mentions the dew rather then the Rain, because it was of more constant use and necessity in those parts than the Rain, which fell considerably but twice in a year, the first being called the former, and the other the latter rain. And under this and the following blessings, which are but temporal, are comprehended all manner of blessings, both spiritual, temporal, and eternal, according to the usage of that time and state of the Church.
A fat and fruitful Land, which Canaan was, abounding with all sorts of pretious fruits. Compare Deut. 8. 8. and 32. 13, 14.
Marginal references: Heb. 1[illegible: 1+ letters]. 20.
