Bereshis 27:25-36 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

25. And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of the wild game of beni, that my nefesh may make a berakhah upon thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat; and he brought him yayin and he drank.

26. And aviv Yitzchak said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me beni.

27. And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the reiach (smell) of his begadim, and made a berakhah upon him, and said, See, the reiach of beni is as the reiach of a sadeh upon which Hashem hath made a berakhah;

28. Therefore HaElohim give thee of the tal haShomayim, and the fatness of ha'aretz, and plenty of dagan and tirosh;

29. Let people serve thee, and amim bow down to thee: be gevir over thy achim, and let bnei immecha bow down to thee: arur be every one that curseth thee, and baruch be he that blesseh thee.

30. And as soon as Yitzchak had completed making on Ya'akov a berakhah, and Ya'akov had hardly gone out from the presence of Yitzchak aviv, that Esav achiv came in from his hunt.

31. And he also had prepared matamim, and brought it unto aviv and said unto aviv, Let avi arise, and eat of the wild game of bno, that thy nefesh may make a berakhah upon me.

32. And Yitzchak aviv said unto him, Mi atah? (Who art thou?) And he said, I am binecha, thy bechor Esav.

33. And Yitzchak trembled with charadah gedolah ad me'od (exceedingly great trembling), and said, Who? Where is he that hath hunted wild game, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all of it before thou camest, and have made a berakhah upon him? And indeed he shall be baruch (blessed)!

34. And when Esav heard the words of aviv, he cried with tzeakah gedolah umarah ad me'od (a great and exceeding bitter cry), and said unto aviv, Make a berakhah on me, even me also, O avi.

35. And he said, Achicha came with mirmah (deceit), and hath taken away thy berakhah.

36. And he said, Is not he rightly called shmo Ya'akov? for vaya'keveni (now he deceived/outwitted me) these two times he took away my bechorah (birthright); and, hinei, now he hath taken away my berakhah (blessing). And he asked, Hast thou not reserved a berakhah for me?
