Genesis 27:30-38

30And it cameH935 to passH935, as soonH389 as IsaacH3327 had madeH1961 an endH3615 of blessingH1288 JacobH3290, and JacobH3290 was yet scarce goneH3318 outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of IsaacH3327 his fatherH1, that EsauH6215 his brotherH251 cameH935 in from his hunting.

31And he also madeH6213 savoury meat, and broughtH935 it unto his fatherH1; and he saidH559 unto his fatherH1, LetH5315 my fatherH1 ariseH6965, and eatH398 of his son’sH1121 venison, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 meH5315.

32And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 saidH559 unto him, Who art thou? And he saidH559, I am thy sonH1121, thy firstbornH1060, EsauH6215.

33And IsaacH3327 trembledH2729 veryH3966 exceedinglyH3966, and saidH559, Who then is he that hath takenH1961 venison, and broughtH935 it meH935, and I have eatenH398 of allH3605 beforeH2962 thou camest, and have blessedH1288 him? yea, and he shall be blessedH1288.

34When EsauH6215 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his fatherH1, he criedH6817 with an exceedingH3966 greatH1419 and bitterH4751 cryH6818, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, BlessH1288 meH589, evenH1571 meH589 also, O my fatherH1.

35And he saidH559, Thy brotherH251 cameH935 with guile, and hath takenH3947 awayH3947 thy blessingH1293.

36And he saidH559, Is notH3808 he rightly namedH8034 JacobH3290? for he hath supplantedH6117 meH7121 theseH2088 twoH3947 timesH6471: he tookH3947 awayH3947 my birthrightH1062; and, beholdH2009, nowH6258 he hath takenH3947 awayH3947 my blessingH1293. And he saidH559, Hast thou notH3808 reservedH680 a blessingH1293 for meH7121?

37And IsaacH3327 answeredH559 and saidH559 unto EsauH6215, BeholdH2005, I have madeH6213 him thy lordH1376, and allH3605 his brethrenH251 have I givenH5414 to him for servantsH5650; and with corn and wineH8492 have I sustainedH5564 him: and whatH4100 then shall I doH6213 for thee, my sonH1121?

38And EsauH6215 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Hast thou but one blessingH1293, my fatherH1? blessH1288 meH413, evenH1571 meH413 also, O my fatherH1. And EsauH6215 liftedH5375 upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
