01:027:027 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell
of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is
as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
01:027:028 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the
fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
01:027:029 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord
over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed
be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
01:027:030 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of
blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of
Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
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;
