Genesis 27:22–29

²²So Jacob came closer to his father Isaac. When he touched him, he said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” ²³He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him. ²⁴Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?”

And he replied, “I am.”

²⁵Then he said, “Bring it closer to me, and let me eat some of my son’s game so that I can bless you.” Jacob brought it closer to him, and he ate; he brought him wine, and he drank.

²⁶Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come closer and kiss me, my son.” ²⁷So he came closer and kissed him. When Isaac smelled^A his clothes, he blessed him and said:

Ah, the smell of my son

is like the smell of a field

that the Lord has blessed.

²⁸May God give to you—

from the dew of the sky^g

and from the richness of the land^h—

an abundance of grain and new wine.ⁱ

²⁹May peoples serve you^j

and nations bow in worship to you.

Be master over your relatives;

may your mother’s sons bow in worship to you.

Those who curse you will be cursed,

and those who bless you will be blessed.^k
