New Living Translation

Genesis 27:27-31 New Living Translation (NLT)

27. So Jacob went over and kissed him. And when Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he was finally convinced, and he blessed his son. He said, “Ah! The smell of my son is like the smell of the outdoors, which the lord has blessed!

28. “From the dew of heavenand the richness of the earth,may God always give you abundant harvests of grainand bountiful new wine.

29. May many nations become your servants,and may they bow down to you.May you be the master over your brothers,and may your mother’s sons bow down to you.All who curse you will be cursed,and all who bless you will be blessed.”

30. As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and almost before Jacob had left his father, Esau returned from his hunt.

31. Esau prepared a delicious meal and brought it to his father. Then he said, “Sit up, my father, and eat my wild game so you can give me your blessing.”
