Genesis 27:27-32 Common English Bible (CEB)

27. So he came close and kissed him. When Isaac smelled the scent of his clothes, he blessed him,"See, the scent of my sonis like the scent of the fieldthat the Lord has blessed.

28. May God give youshowers from the sky,olive oil from the earth,plenty of grain and new wine.

29. May the nations serve you,may peoples bow down to you.Be the most powerful man among your brothers,and may your mother’s sons bow down to you.Those who curse you will be cursed,and those who bless you will be blessed."

30. After Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and just as Jacob left his father Isaac, his brother Esau came back from his hunt.

31. He too made some delicious food, brought it to his father, and said, "Let my father sit up and eat from his son’s game so that you may bless me."

32. His father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?"And he said, "I’m your son, your oldest son, Esau."
