Genesis 27:34 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 27:34

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.”

36 And Esau said, ^a“Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”

37 Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, ^a“Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with ^bgrain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?”

38 And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice ^aand wept.

39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
“Behold, ^ayour dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth,
And of the dew of heaven from above.
