Genesis 27:29-37

29Let peoplesH5971 serveH5647 thee,And nations bowH7812 downH7812 to thee:Be lordH1376 over thy brethren,And let thy mother’sH517 sonsH1121 bowH7812 downH7812 to thee:CursedH779 be every one that curseth thee,And blessedH1288 be every one that blesseth thee.

30And it cameH935 to pass, as soon as IsaacH3327 had made an endH3615 of blessingH1288 JacobH3290, and JacobH3290 wasH1961 yet scarce goneH3318 out from the presenceH6440 of IsaacH3327 his fatherH1, that EsauH6215 his brotherH251 cameH935 in from his hunting. 31And he alsoH1571 madeH6213 savoryH4303 food, and broughtH935 it unto his fatherH1; and he saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Let my fatherH1 ariseH6965, and eatH398 of his son’sH1121 venison, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me. 32And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 saidH559 unto him, Who art thou? And he saidH559, I am thy sonH1121, thy first-born, EsauH6215. 33And IsaacH3327 trembledH2729 veryH3966 exceedinglyH3966, and saidH559, Who then is he that hath taken venison, and broughtH935 it me, and I have eatenH398 of all before thou camest, and have blessedH1288 him? yea, and he shall beH1961 blessedH1288. 34When EsauH6215 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his fatherH1, he criedH6817 with an exceeding greatH1419 and bitterH4751 cryH6818, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, BlessH1288 me, even me alsoH1571, O my fatherH1. 35And he saidH559, Thy brotherH251 cameH935 with guile, and hath takenH3947 awayH3947 thy blessingH1293. 36And he saidH559, Is not he rightly namedH8034 JacobH3290? for he hath supplanted me these two timesH6471: he tookH3947 awayH3947 my birthrightH1062; and, behold, nowH6258 he hath takenH3947 awayH3947 my blessingH1293. And he saidH559, Hast thou not reserved a blessingH1293 for me? 37And IsaacH3327 answered and saidH559 unto EsauH6215, Behold, I have madeH6213 him thy lordH1376, and all his brethren have I givenH5414 to him for servantsH5650; and with grainH1715 and newH8492 wineH8492 have I sustainedH5564 him: and what then shall I do for thee, my sonH1121?
