Genesis 27:33-40

33Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”

34When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”

35But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”

36So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob?1 For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”

37But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”

38Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.

39His father Isaac answered him:

“Behold, your dwelling place shall beaway from the richness of the land,away from the dew of heaven above.40You shall live by the swordand serve your brother.But when you rebel,you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
