Genesis 27:33-40

33Then Isaac 1trembled violently, and said, “2Who then was he who hunted game and brought it to me, so that I ate from 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, me as well, my father!” 35And he said, “5Your brother came deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.” 36Then Esau said, “6Is he not rightly named 78Jacob, for he has betrayed 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 9your master, and I have given to him all his relatives 10as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?” 38Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me, me as well, my father.” So Esau raised his voice and 11wept.

39Then 12his father Isaac 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.40And by your sword you shall live, And 17you shall serve your brother; But it shall come about 18when you become restless, That you will 19break his yoke from your neck.”
