Genesis 27:29-37

29May the people of many nations serve you. May they respect you as their master. You will rule over your brothers. Yes, your mother's sons will bend down to respect you. May God curse anyone who curses you. And may he bless anyone who blesses you.’

30When Isaac had blessed Jacob, Jacob left him. Just then, Esau came back from the country where he had killed an animal.

31He prepared nice food that Isaac liked to eat. Then he took the food to his father, Isaac. Esau said, ‘My father, please sit up. Eat some of the meat from the wild animal that I have killed. Then you can bless me.’

32His father Isaac asked, ‘Who are you?’ Esau replied, ‘I am your firstborn son, Esau.’

33Isaac's body shook very much. He asked, ‘Who was it who killed an animal and brought the meat to me? Just before you came, I ate all of it. And then I blessed him. And God will certainly bless him!’

34Esau heard what his father had said and he cried aloud. He was very upset. He said, ‘My father, please bless me too!’

35But Isaac said, ‘Your brother came to me. He deceived me and he took your blessing away from you.’

36Esau said, ‘Yes, “Jacob” is the right name for him. He has cheated me twice. First he took my birthright. Now he has taken my blessing as well!’ Then Esau asked his father, ‘You must still have some blessing left for me, don't you?’

37Isaac replied, ‘I have made Jacob master over you. All his relatives will become his servants. I have given him crops and wine. So what can I still do to bless you, my son?’
