Genesis 27:34-40 ▼

34 And Esau heard the words of his father, and he cried out an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and he said to his father, “Bless me also, my father!”

35 And he said, “Your brother came with deceit and took your blessing.”

36 And Esau said, “Is it because his name is called Jacob? And he has supplanted me these two times. He has taken my birthright, and behold, now he has taken my blessing.” And he said, “Have you not reserved for me a blessing?”

37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Behold, I have made him master over you, and all his brothers I have given to him as servants, and grain and new wine I have sustained him with; and for you now, what shall I do, my son?”

38 And Esau said to his father, “Is it one blessing, that you have my father? Bless me also, O my father.” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Behold, from the fatness of the earth shall be your dwelling, and from the dew of the heavens above.

40 And by your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. And it shall come to pass when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
