Genesis 27:30 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 27:30

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.”

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.”
