01:027:031 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his
father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat
of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
01:027:032 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said,
I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
01:027:033 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is
he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have
eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea,
and he shall be blessed.
01:027:034 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a
great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father,
Bless me, even me also, O my father.
01:027:035 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken
away thy blessing.
01:027:036 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath
supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright;
and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said,
Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
01:027:037 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him
thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for
servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and
what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
01:027:038 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my
father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted
up his voice, and wept.
01:027:039 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy
dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of
heaven from above;
01:027:040 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother;
and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion,
that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
01:027:041 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his
father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of
mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my
brother Jacob.
01:027:042 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah:
and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto
him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort
himself, purposing to kill thee.
01:027:043 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to
Laban my brother to Haran;
01:027:044 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn
away;
01:027:045 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget
that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch
thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in
one day?
