Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 48:15

In which sence and upon the same ground the land of Canaan is oft-times said to be not onely promised but given to Abraham, and Isaac, &c. not as if they were in person to possess it, but because it should be given to their children. Thus Cham is said to be cursed when his son is cursed, Gen. 9. 25.

(i. e.) Protected, sustained and directed me.
