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?
01:027:046 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of
the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth,
such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my

father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy
mother's brother.

multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
01:028:004 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy
