Genesis 27:25-33 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

25. Then he said, “Bring it near to me that I may eat from the game of my son, so that I may bless you.” And he brought it to him, and he ate. And he brought wine to him, and he drank.

26. Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near and kiss me, my son.”

27. And he drew near and kissed him. And he smelled the smell of his garments, and he blessed him and said, “Look, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed!

28. May God give you of the dew of heaven 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 lord of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. Cursed be those cursing you, and blessed be those blessing you.”

30. And as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, immediately after Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came back from his hunting.

31. He too prepared tasty food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat from the wild game of his son, that you may bless me.”

32. And Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” And he said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”

33. Then Isaac trembled violently. Then he said, “Who then was he that hunted wild game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I blessed him? Moreover, he will be blessed!”
