Genesis 27:27-32 New Century Version (NCV)

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.

31. He also prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. He said, “Father, rise and eat the food that your son killed for you and then bless me.”

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