Context Reading
29Let peoples serve you,and nations bow down to you.Be lord over your brothers.Let your mother’s sons bow down to you.Cursed be everyone who curses you.Blessed be everyone who blesses you.” 30As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.” 32Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.” 33Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”
