Genesis 27:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 27:28

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.

28 Therefore may ^aGod give you
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!”

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.”
