Genesis 27:34–41

³⁴When Esau heard the words of his father, ^dhe cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me—me also, O my father!”

³⁵But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”

³⁶And Esau said, ^e“Is he not rightly named ⁵Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”

³⁷Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, ^f“Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with ^ggrain and wine I have ⁶sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?”

³⁸And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice ^hand wept.

³⁹Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:

“Behold, ⁱyour dwelling shall be of the ⁷fatness of the earth,

And of the dew of heaven from above.

⁴⁰By your sword you shall live,

And ^jyou shall serve your brother;

And ^kit shall come to pass, when you become restless,

That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

Jacob Escapes from Esau

⁴¹So Esau ^lhated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, ^m“The days of mourning for my father ⁸are at hand; ⁿthen I will kill my brother Jacob.”
