27So he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his garments, and then he ablessed him and said,

“See, bthe smell of my son

Is like the smell of a field cwhich Yahweh has blessed;

28Now may aGod give you of the dew of heaven,

And of the bfatness of the earth,

And an abundance of grain and new wine;

29aMay peoples serve you,

And nations bow down to you;

bBe master of your brothers,

cAnd may your mother’s sons bow down to you.

dCursed be those who curse you,

And blessed be those who bless you.”
