New Testament

Genesis 27:30-35 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. Scarcely had Isaac completed his words, and Jacob departed, when Esau arrived.

31. And he brought his father foods cooked from his hunting, saying, "Arise, my father, and eat from your son's hunting, so that your soul may bless me."

32. And Isaac said to him, "But who are you?" And he answered, "I am your firstborn son, Esau."

33. Isaac became frightened and very astonished. And wondering beyond what can be believed, he said: "Then who is he that a while ago brought me the prey from his hunting, from which I ate, before you arrived? And I blessed him, and he will be blessed."

34. Esau, having heard his father's words, roared out with a great outcry. And, being confounded, he said, "But bless me also, my father."

35. And he said, "Your twin came deceitfully, and he received your blessing."
