Genesis 27:33-36
New International Version
33 Isaac trembled violently and said, “Who was it, then, that hunted game and brought it to me?(A) I ate it just before you came and I blessed him—and indeed he will be blessed!(B)”
34 When Esau heard his father’s words, he burst out with a loud and bitter cry(C) and said to his father, “Bless(D) me—me too, my father!”
35 But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully(E) and took your blessing.”(F)
36 Esau said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob[a]?(G) This is the second time he has taken advantage of(H) me: He took my birthright,(I) and now he’s taken my blessing!”(J) Then he asked, “Haven’t you reserved any blessing for me?”
