Yitzchak was seized with very violent trembling. “Who was it then,” he demanded, “that hunted game and brought it to me? I ate of it all before you came, and I blessed him; now he must remain blessed!”
English: Our Rabbis taught: The Holy One, blessed be He, let Yitzchak taste of the World to Come, and the evil inclination, the Angel of Death, and worms and maggots had no power over him — because it is said of him “of all.”
On the daf / in context: The phrase “I ate of it all” is linked to the tradition that Yitzchak experienced a foretaste of the World to Come and was free of the ordinary powers of decay and the yetzer hara.
