37. Isaac replied to Esau, “Look! I have made him lord over you. I have made all his relatives his servants and provided him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”

38. Esau said to his father, “Do you have only that one blessing, my father? Bless me too!” Then Esau wept loudly.
