Genesis 27:33-40

33Then Isaac 1trembled violently, and said, “2Who was he then that hunted game and brought it to me, so that I ate of all of it before you came, and blessed him? 3Yes, and he shall be blessed.” 34When Esau heard the words of his father, 4he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, O my father!” 35And he said, “5Your brother came deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.” 36Then he said, “6Is he not rightly named 7Jacob, for he has supplanted me these two times? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?” 37But Isaac replied to Esau, “Behold, I have made him 8your master, and all his 9relatives I have given to him 10as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. Now as for you then, what can I do, my son?” 38Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” So Esau lifted his voice and 11wept.

39Then 12Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Behold, 1314away from the 15fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling, And 16away from the dew of heaven from above.40By your sword you shall live, And your brother 17you shall serve; But it shall come about 18when you become restless, That you will 19break his yoke from your neck.”
