Genesis 27:30-45 - Esau Begs For Isaac's Blessing
30 As soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, then came Esau his brother from his hunting: 31 and had made also meat, and brought it in unto his father and said unto him, "Arise my father and eat of thy son's venison, that thy soul may bless me."
32 Then his father Isaac said unto him, "Who art thou?" He answered, "I am thy eldest son Esau."
33 And Isaac was greatly astonished out of measure, and said, "Where is he then that hath hunted venison and brought it me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him, and he shall be blessed still."
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out greatly and bitterly above measure, and said unto his father, "Bless me also, my father!"
35 And he said, "Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath taken away thy blessing."
36 Then said he, "He may well be called Jacob, for he hath undermined me now two times - first he took away my birthright; and see, now hath he taken away my blessing also." And he said, "Hast thou kept never a blessing for me?"
37 Isaac answered and said unto Esau, "Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his mother's children have I made his servants. Moreover, with corn and wine have I established him. What can I do unto thee now my son?"
38 And Esau said unto his father, "Hast thou but that one blessing my father? Bless me also, my father!" So lifted up Esau his voice and wept.
39 Then Isaac his father answered and said unto him, "Behold, thy dwelling place shall have of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above. 40 And with thy sword shalt thou live and shalt be thy brother's servant; But the time will come, when thou shalt get the mastery, and loose his yoke from off thy neck."
41 And Esau hated Jacob, because of the blessing that his father blessed him withal, and said in his heart, "The days of my father's sorrow are at hand, for I will slay my brother Jacob."
42 And these words of Esau her eldest son, were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called Jacob her youngest son, and said unto him, "Behold, thy brother Esau threateneth to kill thee. 43 Now therefore my son hear my voice, make thee ready, and flee to Laban my brother at Haran: 44 And tarry with him a while, until thy brother's fierceness be assuaged, 45 and until thy brother's wrath turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him. Then will I send and fetch thee away from thence. Why should I lose you both in one day?"
