Exegesis
The fronted source phrase mishmannei haarets {מִשְׁמַנֵּי הָאָרֶץ | miš-man-nê hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘from the fatness of the earth’ emphasizes the contrastive privative use of min.
In context — Genesis 27:39
And Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Behold , away from the fatness of the earth shall be your dwelling, and away from the dew of the heavens from above.”
