26. Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come near and kiss me.”
27. So Jacob went to his father and kissed him. Isaac smelled Esau’s clothes and blessed him. Isaac 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 soil.Then you will have plenty of grain and wine.
29. May nations serve you.May peoples bow down to you.May you be master over your brothers.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. Esau 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. Then bless me.”
32. Isaac asked, “Who are you?”He answered, “I am your son—your firstborn son—Esau.”
33. Then Isaac trembled greatly. He said, “Then who was it that hunted the animals and brought me food before you came? I ate it, and I blessed him. And it is too late now to take back my blessing.”
