Genesis 27:36-38

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁶ Esau said, “His name is Jacob.^[a] That is the right name for him. He has tricked me twice. He took away my rights as the firstborn son. And now he has taken away my blessing.” Then Esau said, “Have you saved any blessing for me?”

³⁷ Isaac answered, “I have already given Jacob the power to rule over you. And I said all his brothers would be his servants. I have given him the blessing for much grain and wine. There is nothing left to give you, my son.”

³⁸ But Esau continued to beg his father. “Do you have only one blessing, father? Bless me also, father!” Esau began to cry.
