Genesis 27:19-29
English Standard Version
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.” 20 But Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “Because the Lord your God granted me success.” 21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I (A)may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not.” 22 So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, who felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 And he did not recognize him, because (B)his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands. (C)So he blessed him. 24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.” 25 Then he said, “Bring it near to me, (D)that I may eat of my son's game and bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near and kiss me, my son.” 27 So he came near and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell of his garments (E)and blessed him and said,
“See, (F)the smell of my son
is as the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed!
28 May God give you of (G)the dew of heaven
and of the fatness of the earth
and (H)plenty of grain and wine.
29 Let peoples serve you,
and nations (I)bow down to you.
(J)Be lord over your brothers,
and may your mother's sons bow down to you.
(K)Cursed be everyone who curses you,
and blessed be everyone who blesses you!”

Genesis 27:19-29
New International Version
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn.(A) I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game,(B) so that you may give me your blessing.”(C)
20 Isaac asked his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?”
“The Lord your God gave me success,(D)” he replied.
21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near so I can touch you,(E) my son, to know whether you really are my son Esau or not.”
22 Jacob went close to his father Isaac,(F) who touched(G) him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau;(H) so he proceeded to bless him. 24 “Are you really my son Esau?” he asked.
“I am,” he replied.
25 Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.”(I)
Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here, my son, and kiss me.”
27 So he went to him and kissed(J) him(K). When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes,(L) he blessed him and said,
“Ah, the smell of my son
is like the smell of a field
that the Lord has blessed.(M)
28 May God give you heaven’s dew(N)
and earth’s richness(O)—
an abundance of grain(P) and new wine.(Q)
29 May nations serve you
and peoples bow down to you.(R)
Be lord over your brothers,
and may the sons of your mother bow down to you.(S)
May those who curse you be cursed
and those who bless you be blessed.(T)”
