Genesis 27:34-36

New International Reader's Version

³⁴ Esau heard his father’s words. Then he yelled loudly and bitterly. He said to his father, “Bless me! Bless me too, my father!”

³⁵ But Isaac said, “Your brother came and tricked me. He took your blessing.”

³⁶ Esau said, “Isn’t Jacob just the right name for him? This is the second time he has taken advantage of me. First, he took my rights as the oldest son. And now he’s taken my blessing!” Then Esau asked, “Haven’t you saved any blessing for me?”
