01:027:029 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee:  be lord
           over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: 
           cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that
           blesseth thee.

01:027:030 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of
           blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the
           presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in
           from his hunting.

01:027:031 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his
           father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat
           of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.

01:027:032 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou?  And he said,
           I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.

01:027:033 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is
           he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have
           eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea,
           and he shall be blessed.

01:027:034 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a
           great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father,
           Bless me, even me also, O my father.

01:027:035 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken
           away thy blessing.

01:027:036 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath
           supplanted me these two times:  he took away my birthright;
           and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing.  And he said,
           Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?

01:027:037 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him
           thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for
           servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him:  and
           what shall I do now unto thee, my son?

01:027:038 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my
           father? bless me, even me also, O my father.  And Esau lifted
           up his voice, and wept.

01:027:039 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy
           dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of
           heaven from above;

01:027:040 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother;
           and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion,
           that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

01:027:041 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his
           father blessed him:  and Esau said in his heart, The days of
           mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my
           brother Jacob.

01:027:042 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: 
           and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto
           him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort
           himself, purposing to kill thee.
