Genesis 27:28-46

28And 1GodH430 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. 30And it cameH935 to pass when IsaacH3327 had endedH3615 blessingH1288 JacobH3290, and when JacobH3290 wasH1961 onlyH389 just goneH3318 out from IsaacH3327 his fatherH1, that EsauH6215 his brotherH251 cameH935 from his hunting. 31And he alsoH1571 had prepared savoury dishes, and he broughtH935 [them] in to his fatherH1, and saidH559 to his fatherH1, Let my fatherH1 ariseH6965 and eatH398 of his son's venison, in orderH5668 that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me. 32And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 saidH559 to him, Who art thou? And he saidH559, I am thy sonH1121, thy firstbornH1060, EsauH6215. 33Then IsaacH3327 trembledH2729 with exceeding greatH1419 tremblingH2729, and saidH559, Who wasH1961 he, then, that huntedH6679 venison and broughtH935 [it] to me? And I have eatenH398 of all before thou camest, and have blessedH1288 him; alsoH1571 blessedH1288 he shall beH1961. 34When EsauH6215 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his fatherH1, he criedH6817 with a greatH1419 and exceeding bitterH4751 cryH6818, and saidH559 to his fatherH1, BlessH1288 me — me alsoH1571, my fatherH1! 35And he saidH559, Thy brotherH251 cameH935 with subtilty, and has takenH3947 awayH3947 thy blessingH1293. 36And he saidH559, Is it not thereforeH6258 he was namedH8034 JacobH3290, for he has supplanted me nowH6258 twice? He tookH3947 awayH3947 my birthrightH1062, and behold, nowH6258 he has takenH3947 awayH3947 my blessingH1293. And he saidH559, Hast thou not reserved a blessingH1293 for me? 37And IsaacH3327 answered and saidH559 to EsauH6215, Behold, I have madeH6213 him lordH1376 over thee, and all his brethren have I givenH5414 to him for servantsH5650, and with corn and newH8492 wineH8492 have I supplied him — and what can I do now for thee, my sonH1121? 38And EsauH6215 saidH559 to his fatherH1, Hast thou then but oneH259 blessingH1293, my fatherH1? blessH1288 me — me alsoH1571, my fatherH1! And EsauH6215 liftedH5375 up his voiceH6963 and weptH1058. 39And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 answered and saidH559 to him, Behold, thy dwellingH4186 shall beH1961 of the fatness of the earthH776, And of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064 from above; 40And by thy swordH2719 shalt thou liveH2421; And thou shalt serveH5647 thy brotherH251; And it shall come to pass when thou rovest about, That thou shalt break his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677. 41And EsauH6215 hated JacobH3290 because of the blessingH1293 with which his fatherH1 had blessedH1288 him. And EsauH6215 saidH559 in his heartH3820, The daysH3117 of mourningH60 for my fatherH1 are at hand, and I will slayH2026 my brotherH251 JacobH3290. 42And the wordsH1697 of EsauH6215 her elder sonH1121 were toldH5046 to Rebecca. And she sentH7971 and calledH7121 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121, and saidH559 to him, Behold, thy brotherH251 EsauH6215, as touching thee, comfortsH5162 himself that he will killH2026 thee. 43And nowH6258, my sonH1121, hearken to my voiceH6963, and ariseH6965, fleeH1272 to LabanH3837 my brotherH251, to HaranH2771; 44and abide with him some daysH3117, until thy brother's fury turnH7725 awayH7725 — 45until thy brother's angerH639 turnH7725 awayH7971 from thee, and he forgetH7911 what thou hast done to him; then I will sendH7971 and fetch thee thence. WhyH4100 should I be bereavedH7921 even of you both in oneH259 dayH3117? 46And Rebecca saidH559 to IsaacH3327, I am weary of my lifeH2416 because of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845. If JacobH3290 takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845, such as these, of the daughtersH1323 of the landH776, what good should my lifeH2416 do me?
