New Testament

Genesis 27:32-37 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

32. Isaac asked, “Who are you?”He answered, “I am your son—your firstborn son—Esau.”

33. Then Isaac trembled greatly. He said, “Then who was it that hunted the animals and brought me food before you came? I ate it, and I blessed him. And it is too late now to take back my blessing.”

34. When Esau heard the words of his father, he let out a loud and bitter cry. He said to his father, “Bless me—me, too, my father!”

35. But Isaac said, “Your brother came and tricked me. He has taken your blessing.”

36. Esau said, “Jacob is the right name for him. He has tricked me these two times. He took away my share of everything you own. And now he has taken away my blessing.” Then Esau asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”

37. Isaac answered, “I gave Jacob the power to be master over you. And all his brothers will be his servants. And I kept him strong with grain and wine. There is nothing left to give you, my son.”
