Genesis 28:4 - Exposition

And give thee the Blessing of Abraham ,— i . e . promised to Abraham ( vide Genesis 12:2 ; Genesis 22:17 , Genesis 22:18 ). The additions of τοῦ παρός μου ( LXX .), אביךְ = τοῦ πατρὸς σου (Samaritan), are unwarranted— to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger ,—literally, the land of thy sojournings ( Genesis 17:8 )— which God gave unto Abraham —by promise (cf. Genesis 12:7 ; Genesis 13:15 ; Genesis 15:7 , Genesis 15:18 ; Genesis 17:8 ).
