Genesis 27:35-37
1599 Geneva Bible
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?
37 Then Isaac answered, and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him [b]thy lord, and all his brethren have I made his servants: and with wheat and wine have I furnished him, and unto thee now what shall I do, my son?
