Genesis 27:22–29

²²Jacob went close to his father Isaac,^h who touchedⁱ him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” ²³He 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.

²⁵Then 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. ²⁶Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here, my son, and kiss me.”

²⁷So he went to him and kissed^l him^m. 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

²⁸May God give you heaven’s dew^p

and earth’s richness^q—

an abundance of grain^r and new wine.^s

²⁹May 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”
