Genesis 27:37

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.

40 By your sword you shall live,
And ^ayou shall serve your brother;
And ^bit shall come to pass, when you become restless,
That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

Jacob Escapes from Esau

41 So Esau ^ahated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, ^b“The days of mourning for my father¹ are at hand; ^cthen I will kill my brother Jacob.”
