30 Isaac finished giving his blessing, and as soon as Jacob left, his brother Esau came in from hunting. 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."
32 " Who are you?" Isaac asked.
"Your older son Esau," he answered.
33 Isaac began to tremble and shake all over, and he asked, "Who was it, then, who killed an animal amd brought it to me? I ate it just before you came. I gave him my final blessing, and so it is his forever."
34 When Esau heard this, he cried out loudly and bitterly and said, "Give me your blessing also, father!"
35 Isaac answered, 'Your brother came and deceived me. He has taken away your blessing."
36 Esau said, "This is 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 for me?"
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 for you, son!"
38 Esau cotinued to plead with his father: "Do you have only one blessing, father? Bless me too, father!" He began to cry.
39 Then Isaac said to him,
"No dew from heaven for you,
No fertile fields for you.
40 You will live by your sword,
But be your brother's slave.
Yet when you rebel,
You will break away from his
control."
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."
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 and kill you.
43 Now, son, do what I say. Go at once to my brother Laban in Haran, 44 and stay with him for a while, until your brother's anger cools down 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?"
32 " Who are you?" Isaac asked.
"Your older son Esau," he answered.
33 Isaac began to tremble and shake all over, and he asked, "Who was it, then, who killed an animal amd brought it to me? I ate it just before you came. I gave him my final blessing, and so it is his forever."
