Genesis 27:30-35

Genesis 27:30-35 NIRV

When Isaac finished blessing him, Jacob left his father. Just then his brother Esau came in from hunting. He too prepared some tasty food. He brought it to his father. Then Esau said to him, “My father, please sit up. Eat some of my wild meat. Then give me your blessing.” His father Isaac asked him, “Who are you?” “I’m your son,” he answered. “I’m Esau, your oldest son.” Isaac began to shake all over. He said, “Then who hunted a wild animal and brought it to me? I ate it just before you came. I gave him my blessing. And he will certainly be blessed!” Esau heard his father’s words. Then he yelled loudly and bitterly. He said to his father, “Bless me! Bless me too, my father!” But Isaac said, “Your brother came and tricked me. He took your blessing.”
