In Genesis 27, when elderly Isaac thought he was blessing his son Esau, but he was actually blessing his son Jacob through the deceit of Jacob's mother, he said to Jacob: > See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD > hath blessed: Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the > fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: Let people serve > thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let > thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth > thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee (Genesis 27:27b-29). My Bible commentaries don't explain how this blessing was borne out. What do Protestant or Catholic authorities say about how this blessing was fulfilled in Jacob's life?
