Genesis 27:39 meaning and explanation
His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the dew of heaven above.
Genesis 27:39, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Isaac has just given the blessing meant for Esau to Jacob, and Esau has wept aloud and begged for something, anything (verses 34 and 38). What Isaac speaks over Esau here is not a blessing in the same sense but a hard word about his future: his dwelling will be away from the richness of the land and away from the dew of heaven.
