Genesis 27

1. Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, "My son."  And he answered him, "Here I am."  (Gen. 35:29;   Gen. 48:10)
2. And he said, "Behold now, I am old.  I do not know the day of my death.  (Prov. 27:1)
3. "Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.  (Gen. 25:27&28)
4. "And make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die."
26. Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near now and kiss me, my son."
27. And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing,
    and blessed him and said;  (Gen. 29:13)
"Surely, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed.
28. Therefore may God give you (Heb. 11:20) of the dew of heaven, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine.  (Gen. 45:18;   Deut. 7:13;   Deut. 33:28)
29. Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you.  (Gen. 9:25;   Gen. 25:23)  Be master over your brethren, and let your mother's sons bow down to you. (Gen. 37:7;   Gen. 37:10)  Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be those who bless you!  (Gen. 12:2&3)
30. Then it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31. He also had made savoury food, and brought it to his father, "Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that your soul may bless me."  (Gen. 27:4)
32. And his father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?"  And he said, "I am your son, your first-born, Esau."
    
33. Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, "Who?  Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me?  I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him - - and indeed he shall be blessed."  (Gen. 25:23;   Gen. 28:3&4)
    
34. When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father!"
    
35. But he said, "Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing."
    
36. And Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob?  For he has supplanted me these two times.  He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!"  And he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"
    
37. Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, 'Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have sustained him.  What shall I do now for you, my son?"
    
38. And Esau said to his father, "Have you only one blessing, my father?  Bless me, even me also, O my father!"  And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.  (Heb. 12:17)
39. Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
"Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth,
and of the dew of heaven from above.  (Heb. 11:20)
40. By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother;  (Gen. 25:23;   Gen. 27:29)
    and it shall come to pass, when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck."  (Heb. 11:20)
41. So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob."  (Gen. 26:27;   Gen. 50:2-4)
