New Testament

Genesis 27:33-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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."

36. But he responded: "Justly is his name called Jacob. For he has supplanted me yet another time. My birthright he took away before, and now, this second time, he has stolen my blessing." And again, he said to his father, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me also?"

37. Isaac answered: "I have appointed him as your lord, and I have subjugated all his brothers as his servants. I have reinforced him with grain and wine, and after this, my son, what more shall I do for you?"
