Genesis 27:18-29 ▼

18 When he came to his father, he sayde: my father? And he aunswered, here am I: who art thou, my sonne?

19 And Iacob sayde vnto his father: I am Esau thy eldest sonne, I haue done accordyng as thou baddest me: aryse I pray thee, syt, and eate of my venison, that thy soule may blesse me.

20 And Isahac said vnto his sonne: how commeth it that thou hast founde it so quickly my sonne? He aunswered: the lorde thy God brought it to my handes.

21 Then sayde Isahac vnto Iacob: Come neare, and I wyll feele thee my sonne, whether thou be my very sonne Esau, or not.

22 Then went Iacob to Isahac his father, and he felt hym, and sayde: The voyce is Iacobs voyce, but the handes are the handes of Esau.

23 And he knewe him not, because his handes were heary as his brother Esaus handes: and so he blessed hym.

24 And he asked him: art thou my sonne Esau? And he sayde: that I am.

25 Then sayde he: Bryng me, & let me eate of my sonnes venison, that my soule may blesse thee. And he brought hym, and he ate: and he brought hym wine also, and he dranke.

26 And his father Isahac said vnto him: Come neare, and kysse me, my sonne.

27 And he went vnto him, & kyssed him, and he smelled the sauour of his rayment, and blessed hym, & saide: See, the smell of my sonne, is as the smell of a fielde which the Lorde hath blessed.

28 God geue thee of the deawe of heauen, and of the fatnesse of the earth, and plentie of corne and wine.

29 People be thy seruauntes, and nations bowe to thee: be lorde ouer thy brethren, and thy mothers children stowpe with reuerence vnto thee: cursed be he that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
