May God give you rain for your crops, so that they grow well in the good ground. Then you will have plenty of grain for food. And you will have grapes to make wine. May the people of many nations serve you. May they respect you as their master. You will rule over your brothers. Yes, your mother's sons will bend down to respect you. May God curse anyone who curses you. And may he bless anyone who blesses you.’

Esau said, ‘Yes, “Jacob” is the right name for him. He has cheated me twice. First he took my birthright. Now he has taken my blessing as well!’ Then Esau said to his father, ‘You must surely still have some blessing for me.’

Isaac replied, ‘You will not live in a place where the ground gives good food. You will not have rain to make your crops grow. You will have to fight to get the things that you need. You will serve your brother as your master. But when you choose to turn against him, you will become free from his power over you.’

Esau said, ‘My father, you surely still have one blessing for me. Please bless me too!’ Then Esau wept loudly.
