Bible Comments

Gen_28:12-19; Gen_35:6-7

It should seem very plain that the Patriarch considered the blessing in a double point of view, as implying, that the natural seed of Jacob should inherit the earthly Canaan; and his spiritual the heavenly. See Gen_12:20; Gen_35:11-12. then see Genesis 17:19-20.

Genesis 48:3-4

4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
