Genesis 27:23-29

23And he did not recognize him, because his hands were 1hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him. 24And he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he said, “I am.” 25So he said, “Bring it to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, that 23I may bless you.” And he brought it to him, and he ate; he also brought him wine and he drank. 26Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come close and kiss me, my son.” 27So he came close and kissed him; and when he smelled the smell of his garments, he 4blessed him and said, “See, 5the smell of my son Is like the smell of a field 6which the Lord has blessed;28Now may 7God give you of the dew of heaven, And of the 8fatness of the earth, And an abundance of grain and new wine;299May peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you; 10Be master of your brothers, 11And may your mother’s sons bow down to you. 12Cursed be those who curse you, And blessed be those who bless you.”
