Genesis 28:3

Genesis 28:3, &c. God Almighty bless, &c.— Isaac here confirms the blessing which he had conferred on Jacob, and particularly prays that he may share the blessing of Abraham, that is, without all doubt, the inheritance of Canaan, and the descent of the Messiah, the promised Seed. This blessing is renewed and confirmed by God himself, Genesis 28:14 who, it is to be observed, always personally ratified the covenant and promise to the person inheriting it. For a full and accurate discourse concerning the blessings of Jacob and Esau, we refer to the excellent Bp. Sherlock's Use and Intent of Prophecy, p. 116.
