Genesis 27:18-29

18And he cameH935 to his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1! And he saidH559, HereH2009 am I: who art thou, my sonH1121?

19And JacobH3290 saidH559 to his fatherH1, I am EsauH6215, thy firstbornH1060. I have done according as thou didst sayH559 to me. AriseH6965, I pray thee, sitH3427 and eatH398 of my venison, in orderH5668 that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me.

20And IsaacH3327 saidH559 to his sonH1121, HowH4100 is it that thou hast foundH4672 [it] so quicklyH4116, my sonH1121? And he saidH559, Because Jehovah thy 1GodH430 put [it] in my way.

21And IsaacH3327 saidH559 to JacobH3290, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feelH4184 thee, my sonH1121, whether thou be really my sonH1121 EsauH6215 or not.

22And JacobH3290 drewH5066 near to IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; and he feltH4959 him, and saidH559, The voiceH6963 is Jacob's voiceH6963, but the handsH3027 are the handsH3027 of EsauH6215.

23And he did not discern him, because his handsH3027 wereH1961 hairy, as his brotherH251 Esau's handsH3027; and he blessedH1288 him.

24And he saidH559, Art thou really my sonH1121 EsauH6215? And he saidH559, It is I.

25And he saidH559, BringH935 [it] near to me, that I may eatH398 of my son's venison, in order that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee. And he broughtH935 [it] near to him, and he ateH398; and he broughtH935 him wineH3196, and he drankH8354.

26And his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 saidH559 to him, Come near, now, and kiss me, my sonH1121.

27And he came near, and kissedH5401 him. And he smelt the smellH7306 of his clothesH899, and blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, SeeH7200, the smellH7306 of my sonH1121 is as the smellH7306 of a fieldH7704 which Jehovah hath blessedH1288.

28And 2GodH430 giveH5414 thee of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064, And of the fatness of the earthH776, And plenty of corn and newH8492 wineH8492.

29Let peoplesH5971 serveH5647 thee, And races bowH7812 downH7812 to thee. Be lordH1376 over thy brethren, And let thy mother's sonsH1121 bowH7812 downH7812 to thee. CursedH779 be they that curseH779 thee, And blessedH1288 be they that blessH1288 thee.
