Genesis 27:37 - Exposition

And Isaac answered and said unto Esau (repeating the substance of the Messing already conferred on Jacob), Behold, I have made him thy lord ,—literally, behold , a lord ( vide on Genesis 27:29 ) have I constituted him to thee; Isaac hereby intimating that in pronouncing the words of blessing he had been speaking under a celestial impulse, and therefore with absolute authority— and all his brethren have I given to him for servants (for the fulfillment vide 2 Samuel 8:14 ), and with corn and wine have I sustained him :—i.e. declared that by these he shall be sustained or supported (cf. Genesis 27:28 )— and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
