Now that you mention it, I remember seeing the מנחת שי when I was first investigating this (probably over a decade ago.)

The only issue I have with אבן עזרא and רד"ק is how do we then understand עשו's ברכה? He gave יעקב "from" משמני הארץ but then he basically grants all of it to עשו as a dwelling? I'm probably just not understanding exactly what עשו's ברכה was.

R. Ze'ev Heidenheim in his sefer מודע לבינה has an explanation of this word in posuk 39.

Rashi to 26:26 says something similar.
