23 He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau;j so he proceeded to bless him. 24 “Are you really my son Esau?” he asked.

“I am,” he replied.

25 Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.”k

Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here, my son, and kiss me.”

27 So he went to him and kissedl himm. When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes,n he blessed him and said,

“Ah, the smell of my son

is like the smell of a field

that the Lord has blessed.o

28 May God give you heaven’s dewp

and earth’s richnessq—

an abundance of grainr and new wine.s

29 May nations serve you

and peoples bow down to you.t

Be lord over your brothers,

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

May those who curse you be cursed

and those who bless you be blessed.v”
