32. “Who are you?” Isaac asked.“Your elder son Esau,” he answered.
33. Isaac began to tremble and shake all over, and he asked, “Who was it, then, who killed an animal and brought it to me? I ate it just before you came. I gave him my final blessing, and so it is his for ever.”
34. When Esau heard this, he cried out loudly and bitterly and said, “Give me your blessing also, father!”
35. Isaac answered, “Your brother came and deceived me. He has taken away your blessing.”
36. Esau said, “This is the second time that he has cheated me. No wonder his name is Jacob. He took my rights as the firstborn son, and now he has taken away my blessing. Haven't you saved a blessing for me?”
37. Isaac answered, “I have already made him master over you, and I have made all his relatives his slaves. I have given him corn and wine. Now there is nothing that I can do for you, my son!”
38. Esau continued to plead with his father: “Have you only one blessing, father? Bless me too, father!” He began to cry.
39. Then Isaac said to him,“No dew from heaven for you,No fertile fields for you.
40. You will live by your sword,But be your brother's slave.Yet when you rebel,You will break away from his control.”
