Genesis 27:29-37

29May peoplesH5971 serve youH5647 and nationsH3816 bow downH7812 to you. May you beH1933 the masterH1376 of your brothersH251, and may the sonsH1121 of your motherH517 bow downH7812 to you. May those who curse youH779 be cursedH779, and those who bless youH1288 be blessedH1288.”30

As soon asH834 IsaacH3327 had finishedH3615 blessingH1288 him and JacobH3290H854 had leftH3318 his father’sH1 presenceH6440H3327, his brotherH251 EsauH6215 returnedH935 from the huntH6718. 31HeH1931 tooH1571 madeH6213 some tasty foodH4303, broughtH935 it to his fatherH1, and saidH559 toH1 him, “My fatherH1, sit upH6965 and eatH398 of your son’sH1121 gameH6718, so thatH5668 youH5315 may bless meH1288.”

32But his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 repliedH559, “WhoH4310 are youH859?”

“IH589 am EsauH6215, your firstbornH1060 sonH1121,” he answeredH559.

33IsaacH3327 began to tremble violentlyH2729H2731H1419H5704H3966 and saidH559, “WhoH4310 was itH1931, thenH645, who huntedH6679 the gameH6718 and brought itH935 to me? BeforeH2962 you came inH935, I ateH398 it allH3605 and blessed himH1288—and indeedH1571, he will beH1961 blessedH1288!”

34When EsauH6215 heardH8085 his father’sH1 wordsH1697, he let outH6817 a loudH1419 and bitterH4751H5704H3966 cryH6818 and saidH559 to his fatherH1, “Bless meH1288 tooH1571H589, O my fatherH1!”

35But Isaac repliedH559, “Your brotherH251 cameH935 deceitfullyH4820 and tookH3947 your blessingH1293.”

36So Esau declaredH559, “Is he not rightlyH3588 namedH7121H8034 JacobH3290?1 For he has cheated meH6117H2088 twiceH6471. He tookH3947 my birthrightH1062, andH2009 nowH6258 he has takenH3947 my blessingH1293.” Then he askedH559, “Haven’tH3808 you savedH680 a blessingH1293 for me?”

37But IsaacH3327H559 answeredH6030 EsauH6215: “LookH2005, I have madeH7760 him your masterH1376 andH853 givenH5414 him allH3605 his relativesH251 as servantsH5650; I have sustainedH5564 him with grainH1715 and new wineH8492. WhatH4100 is leftH645 that I can do for youH6213, my sonH1121?”
