Genesis 27:23-31 Amplified Bible (AMP)

23. He could not identify him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.

24. But he said, Are you really my son Esau? He answered, I am.

25. Then [Isaac] said, Bring it to me and I will eat of my son's game, that I may bless you. He brought it to him and he ate; and he brought him wine and he drank.

26. Then his father Isaac said, Come near and kiss me, my son.

27. So he came near and kissed him; and [Isaac] smelled his clothing and blessed him and said, The scent of my son is as the odor of a field which the Lord has blessed.

28. And may God give you of the dew of the heavens and of the fatness of the earth and abundance of grain and [new] wine;

29. Let peoples serve you and nations bow down to you; be master over your brothers, and let your mother's sons bow down to you. Let everyone be cursed who curses you and favored with blessings who blesses you.

30. As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob and Jacob was scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

31. Esau had also prepared savory food and brought it to his father and said to him, Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me.
