27 So Jacob[a] drew closer to kiss him. When Isaac[b] smelled the scent of his son’s[c] clothes, he blessed him and said,

“How my son’s scent is the fragrance of the field
    that the Lord has blessed.
28 May the Lord grant you dew from the skies,[d]
    and from the fertile land;
may he grant you[e]
    abundant grain and fresh wine.
29 May people serve and bow before you;
    may you be master over your brothers;
may your mother’s sons bow before you;
    may anyone who curses you be cursed;
        and may anyone who blesses you be blessed.”
