* And Isaac said unto his son , How is it that thou hast found it so quickly , my son ? And he said , Because the LORD thy God brought it to me . * And Isaac said unto Jacob Ya #aqob #, Come near , I pray thee , that I may feel thee , my son , whether thou be my very son Esau or not . * And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father ; and he felt him , and said , The voice is Jacobs voice , but the hands are the hands of Esau . * And he discerned him not , because his hands were hairy sa #iyr #, as his brother Esaus hands : so he blessed him . * And he said , Art thou my very son Esau ? And he said , I am . * And he said , Bring it near to me , and I will eat of my sons venison , that my soul may bless thee . And he brought it near to him , and he did eat : and he brought him wine , and he drank . * And his father Isaac said unto him , Come near now , and kiss me , my son . * 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 : * Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven , and the fatness of the earth , and plenty of corn and wine : * Let people serve thee , and nations bow down to thee : be lord over thy brethren , and let thy mothers sons bow down to thee : cursed be every one that curseth thee , and blessed be he that blesseth thee . * And it came to pass , as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob Ya #aqob #, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father , that Esau his brother came in from his hunting . * And he also had made savoury meat mat #am #, and brought it unto his father , and said unto his father , Let my father arise , and eat of his sons venison , that thy soul may bless me . * And Isaac his father said unto him , Who art thou ? And he said , I am thy son , thy firstborn Esau . * And Isaac trembled very exceedingly #H2731 , 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 . * And when Esau heard the words of his father , he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry tsa #aqah #, and said unto his father , Bless me , even me also , O my father . * And he said , Thy brother came with subtilty , and hath taken away thy blessing . * And he said , Is not he rightly named Jacob Ya #aqob #? for he hath supplanted me these two times pa #am #: 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 ? * And Isaac answered and said unto Esau , Behold , I have made him thy lord , and all his brethren have I given to hi for servants ; and with corn and wine have I sustained him : and what shall I do now unto thee , my son ? * 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 . * 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 ; * 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 tsavva #r #.
