Genesis 27:30-40

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?’

38Esau said, ‘My father, you surely have one blessing left for me. Please bless me too!’ Then Esau wept loudly.

39Isaac replied, ‘You will not live in a place where the ground gives good food. You will not have rain to make your crops grow.

40You will have to fight to get the things that you need. You will serve your brother as your master. But when you choose to turn against him, you will become free from his power over you.’
