New Testament

Genesis 27:24-30 New Century Version (NCV)

24. Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?”Jacob answered, “Yes, I am.”

25. Then Isaac said, “Bring me the food, and I will eat it and bless you.” So Jacob gave him the food, and he ate. Jacob gave him wine, and he drank.

26. Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come near and kiss me.”

27. So Jacob went to his father and kissed him. When Isaac smelled Esau’s clothes, he blessed him and said,“The smell of my sonis like the smell of the fieldthat the Lord has blessed.

28. May God give you plenty of rainand good soilso that you will have plenty of grain and new wine.

29. May nations serve youand peoples bow down to you.May you be master over your brothers,and may your mother’s sons bow down to you.May everyone who curses you be cursed,and may everyone who blesses you be blessed.”

30. Isaac finished blessing Jacob. Then, just as Jacob left his father Isaac, Esau came in from hunting.
