Genesis 27:29

← Genesis 27:28	Genesis 27:29 (KJV)	Genesis 27:30 →
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:	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.	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.
