Genesis 27:18–30

¹⁸And he went to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?” ¹⁹And Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please get up, sit up and eat from my wild game so that you^d may bless me.” ²⁰Then Isaac said to his son, “How^e did you find it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because Yahweh your God caused me to find it.”^{f 21}Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please, come near and let me feel you, my son. Are you really^g my son Esau or not?” ²²And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father. And he felt him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” ²³And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like the hands of Esau his brother. And he blessed him. ²⁴And he said, “Are you really^h my son Esau?” And he said, “I am.” ²⁵Then he said, “Bring it near to me that I may eat from the game of my son, so that Iⁱ may bless you.” And he brought it to him, and he ate. And he brought wine to him, and he drank. ²⁶Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near and kiss me, my son.” ²⁷And he drew near and kissed him. And he^j smelled the smell of his garments, and he blessed him and said,

“Look, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed!

²⁸May God give you of the dew of heaven

and of the fatness of the earth,

and abundance of grain and new wine.

²⁹Let peoples serve you,

and nations bow down to you;

Be lord of your brothers,

and may the sons of your mother bow down to you.

Cursed be those cursing you,

and blessed be those blessing you.”

³⁰And as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, immediately after^k Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came back from his hunting.
