Genesis 27:25-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

25. Then Isaac said, “Serve me, my son, and let me eat of the game so that I may bless you.” Jacob served it to him, and Isaac ate; he brought him wine, and he drank.

26. Finally his father Isaac said to him, “Come closer, my son, and kiss me.”

27. As Jacob went up to kiss him, Isaac smelled the fragrance of his clothes. With that, he blessed him, saying,“Ah, the fragrance of my sonis like the fragrance of a fieldthat the Lord has blessed!

28. May God give to youof the dew of the heavensAnd of the fertility of the earthabundance of grain and wine.

29. May peoples serve you,and nations bow down to you;Be master of your brothers,and may your mother’s sons bow down to you.Cursed be those who curse you,and blessed be those who bless you.”
