25. He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s wild game, so that my soul may bless you.”And he brought it near to him, and he ate. He also brought him wine, and he drank.
26. His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.”
27. He came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing and blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my sonis like the smell of the fieldwhich the Lord has blessed.
28. Therefore, may God give you of the dew of heavenand the fatness of the earth,and plenty of grain and new wine.
29. Let peoples serve you,and nations bow down to you.Be master over your brothers,and let your mother’s sons bow down to you.Cursed be everyone who curses you,and blessed be those who bless you!”
30. As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had barely gone out from the presence of his father Isaac, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31. He also had prepared savory food and brought it to his father, and said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son’s wild game, so that your soul may bless me.”
32. Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?”And he said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33. Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who? Where then is he who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him. Yes, and he shall be blessed.”
34. When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceedingly bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, O my father!”
35. He said, “Your brother came deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.”
36. Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing.” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
