Genesis 27:34-36
1599 Geneva Bible
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with a great cry and bitter, out of measure, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, my father.
35 Who answered, Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath taken away thy blessing.
36 Then he said, Was he not justly called [a]Jacob? for he hath deceived me these two times: he took my birthright, and lo, now hath he taken my blessing. Also he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
