25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, so athat my soul may bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.”
27 And he came near and akissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said:
“Surely, bthe smell of my son
Is like the smell of a field
Which the Lord has blessed.
“Surely, bthe smell of my son
Is like the smell of a field
Which the Lord has blessed.
28 Therefore may aGod give you
Of bthe dew of heaven,
Of cthe fatness of the earth,
And dplenty of grain and wine.
Of bthe dew of heaven,
Of cthe fatness of the earth,
And dplenty of grain and wine.
29 aLet peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And blet your mother’s sons bow down to you.
cCursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And blet your mother’s sons bow down to you.
cCursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”
Esau’s Lost Hope
30 Now it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 He also had made1 savory food, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, “Let my father arise and aeat of his son’s game, that your soul may bless me.”
32 And his father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” So he said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33 Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, “Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him—aand indeed he shall be blessed.”
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, ahe cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me—me also, O my father!”
35 But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”
