Genesis 27:30-35 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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!”

34. When Esau heard the words of his father he cried out with a great and exceedingly bitter cry of distress. And he said to his father, “Bless me as well, my father!”

35. And he said, “Your brother came in deceit and took your blessing.”
