[27:30] Isaac finished giving his blessing, and as soon as Jacob left, his brother Esau came in from hunting.
[27:31] He also cooked some tasty food and took it to his father. He said, “Please, father, sit up and eat some of the meat that I have brought you, so that you can give me your blessing.”
[27:32] “Who are you?” Isaac asked. “Your older son Esau,” he answered.
[27:33] Isaac began to tremble and shake all over, and he asked, “Who was it, then, who killed an animal and brought it to me? I ate it just before you came. I gave him my final blessing, and so it is his forever.”
[27:34] When Esau heard this, he cried out loudly and bitterly and said, “Give me your blessing also, father!”
[27:35] Isaac answered, “Your brother came and deceived me. He has taken away your blessing.”
[27:36] Esau said, “This is the second time that he has cheated me. No wonder his name is Jacob. He took my rights as the first-born son, and now he has taken away my blessing. Haven't you saved a blessing for me?”
[27:37] Isaac answered, “I have already made him master over you, and I have made all his relatives his slaves. I have given him grain and wine. Now there is nothing that I can do for you, son!”
[27:38] Esau continued to plead with his father: “Do you have only one blessing, father? Bless me too, father!” He began to cry.
[27:39] Then Isaac said to him, “No dew from heaven for you, No fertile fields for you.
[27:40] You will live by your sword, But be your brother's slave. Yet when you rebel, You will break away from his control.”
[27:41] Esau hated Jacob, because his father had given Jacob the blessing. He thought, “The time to mourn my father's death is near; then I will kill Jacob.”
[27:42] But when Rebecca heard about Esau's plan, she sent for Jacob and said, “Listen, your brother Esau is planning to get even with you and kill you.
[27:43] Now, son, do what I say. Go at once to my brother Laban in Haran,
[27:44] and stay with him for a while, until your brother's anger cools down
[27:45] and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send someone to bring you back. Why should I lose both of my sons on the same day?”
