Genesis 27:18-40
18And he cameH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I; who art thou, my sonH1121? 19And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, I am EsauH6215 thy firstbornH1060; I have doneH6213 according as thou badestH1696 me: ariseH6965, I pray thee, sitH3427 and eatH398 of my venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me. 20And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto his sonH1121, How is it that thou hast foundH4672 it so quicklyH4116, my sonH1121? And he saidH559, because YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 broughtH7136 it to meH6440.1 21And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Come nearH5066, I pray thee, that I may feelH4184 thee, my sonH1121, whether thou be my veryH2088 sonH1121 EsauH6215 or not. 22And JacobH3290 went nearH5066 unto IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; and he feltH4959 him, and saidH559, The voiceH6963 is Jacob’sH3290 voiceH6963, but the handsH3027 are the handsH3027 of EsauH6215. 23And he discernedH5234 him not, because his handsH3027 were hairyH8163, as his brotherH251 Esau’sH6215 handsH3027: so he blessedH1288 him. 24And he saidH559, Art thou my very sonH1121 EsauH6215? And he saidH559, I am. 25And he saidH559, Bring it nearH5066 to me, and I will eatH398 of my son’sH1121 venisonH6718, that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee. And he brought it nearH5066 to him, and he did eatH398: and he broughtH935 him wineH3196, and he drankH8354. 26And his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto him, Come nearH5066 now, and kissH5401 me, my sonH1121. 27And he came nearH5066, and kissedH5401 him: and he smelledH7306 the smellH7381 of his raimentH899, and blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, SeeH7200, the smellH7381 of my sonH1121 is as the smellH7381 of a fieldH7704 which YhwhH3068 hath blessedH1288: 28Therefore GodH430 giveH5414 thee of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064, and the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and plentyH7230 of grainH1715 and wineH8492: 29Let peopleH5971 serveH5647 thee, and nationsH3816 bow downH7812 to thee: beH1933 lordH1376 over thy brethrenH251, and let thy mother’sH517 sonsH1121 bow downH7812 to thee: cursedH779 be every one that cursethH779 thee, and blessedH1288 be he that blessethH1288 thee.
30And it came to pass, as soon as IsaacH3327 had made an endH3615 of blessingH1288 JacobH3290, and JacobH3290 was yetH389 scarceH3318 gone outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of IsaacH3327 his fatherH1, that EsauH6215 his brotherH251 came inH935 from his huntingH6718. 31And he also had madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, and brought itH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Let my fatherH1 ariseH6965, and eatH398 of his son’sH1121 venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me. 32And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 saidH559 unto him, Who art thou? And he saidH559, I am thy sonH1121, thy firstbornH1060 EsauH6215. 33And IsaacH3327 trembledH2729 veryH1419 exceedinglyH2731H3966, and saidH559, Who? whereH645 is he that hath takenH6679 venisonH6718, and broughtH935 it me, and I have eatenH398 of all before thou camestH935, and have blessedH1288 him? yea, and he shall be blessedH1288.23 34And when EsauH6215 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his fatherH1, he criedH6817 with a greatH1419 and exceedingH3966 bitterH4751 cryH6818, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, BlessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1. 35And he saidH559, Thy brotherH251 cameH935 with subtiltyH4820, and hath taken awayH3947 thy blessingH1293. 36And he saidH559, Is not he rightlyH3588 namedH8034H7121 JacobH3290? for he hath supplanted meH6117 theseH2088 two timesH6471: he took awayH3947 my birthrightH1062; and, behold, now he hath taken awayH3947 my blessingH1293. And he saidH559, Hast thou not reservedH680 a blessingH1293 for me?4 37And IsaacH3327 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto EsauH6215, Behold, I have madeH7760 him thy lordH1376, and all his brethrenH251 have I givenH5414 to him for servantsH5650; and with grainH1715 and wineH8492 have I sustainedH5564 him: and what shall I doH6213 nowH645 unto thee, my sonH1121?5 38And EsauH6215 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Hast thou but oneH259 blessingH1293, my fatherH1? blessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1. And EsauH6215 lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058. 39And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy dwellingH4186 shall be the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064 from aboveH5920;6 40And by thy swordH2719 shalt thou liveH2421, and shalt serveH5647 thy brotherH251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominionH7300, that thou shalt breakH6561 his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677.
