Genesis 27:23-35
English Standard Version
Chapter 27
23And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau 's hands. So he blessed him. 24He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He answered, "I am." 25Then he said, "Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son 's game and bless you." So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near and kiss me, my son."
27So he came near and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him and said, "See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed!
28May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine.
29Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother 's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be everyone who blesses you!"
30As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31He also prepared delicious food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father arise and eat of his son 's game, that you may bless me."
32His father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."
33Then Isaac trembled very violently and said, "Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed."
34As soon as Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father!"
35But he said, "Your brother came deceitfully, and he has taken away your blessing."
