“Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:”
May God give you heaven's dew and earth's richness — an abundance of grain and new wine. Isaac's blessing of the agricultural richness is the covenant blessing of the land: dew, grain, new wine. Deuteronomy 33:28 repeats this blessing over Israel. The same covenant provisions that characterized the promised land are invoked over the son who will inherit it. The application: the blessing of the land is the blessing of the covenant's physical provision — the promise that the land will yield what is needed for the covenant people to live.
