Genesis 27:34-38

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?”

38EsauH6215 saidH559 toH413 his fatherH1, “Do you have only oneH259H1931 blessingH1293, my fatherH1? Bless meH1288 tooH1571H589, O my fatherH1!” Then EsauH6215 weptH1058 aloudH5375H6963.
