Genesis 27:33-40

33Then IsaacH3327 1trembledH2729 violentlyH2731H1419H5704H3966, and saidH559, “2WhoH4310 was he thenH645 that huntedH6679 gameH6718 and broughtH935 it to me, so that I ateH398 of allH3605 of it beforeH2962 you cameH935, and blessedH1288 him? 3YesH1571, and he shall be blessedH1288.” 34When EsauH6215 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his fatherH1, 4he criedH6817 out with an exceedinglyH3966 greatH1419 and bitterH4751 cryH6818, and saidH559 to his fatherH1, “BlessH1288 me, even me alsoH1571, O my fatherH1!” 35And he saidH559, “5Your brotherH251 cameH935 deceitfullyH4820 and has takenH3947 away your blessingH1293.” 36Then he saidH559, “6Is he not rightly namedH7121H8034 7JacobH3290, for he has supplantedH6117 me theseH2088 twoH6471 timesH6471? He tookH3947 away my birthrightH1062, and beholdH2009, nowH6258 he has takenH3947 away my blessingH1293.” And he saidH559, “Have you not reservedH680 a blessingH1293 for me?” 37But IsaacH3327 repliedH6030 to EsauH6215, “BeholdH2005, I have madeH7760 him 8your masterH1376, and allH3605 his 9relativesH251 I have givenH5414 to him 10as servantsH5650; and with grainH1715 and newH8492 wineH8492 I have sustainedH5564 him. Now as for you thenH645, whatH4100 can I doH6213, my sonH1121?” 38EsauH6215 saidH559 to his fatherH1, “Do you have only oneH259 blessingH1293, my fatherH1? BlessH1288 me, even me alsoH1571, O my fatherH1.” So EsauH6215 liftedH5375 his voiceH6963 and 11weptH1058.

39Then 12IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, 1314away from the 15fertilityH8082 of the earthH776 shall be your dwellingH4186, And 16away from the dewH2919 of heavenH8064 from aboveH5921.40By your swordH2719 you shall liveH2421, And your brotherH251 17you shall serveH5647; But it shall comeH1961 about 18whenH3512 you becomeH7300 restlessH7300, That you will 19breakH6561 his yokeH5923 from your neckH6677.”
