Genesis 27:35

Verse 35

Hath taken away thy blessing - This blessing, which was a different thing from the birthright, seems to consist of two parts:

1. The dominion, generally and finally, over the other part of the family; and,

2. Being the progenitor of the Messiah.

But the former is more explicitly declared than the latter. See note on Gen 25:31.
