“The smell of my son
is like a field
    the Lord has blessed.
28 God will bless you, my son,
    with dew from heaven
and with fertile fields,
    rich with grain and grapes.
29 (B) Nations will be your servants
    and bow down to you.
You will rule over your brothers,
and they will kneel
    at your feet.
Anyone who curses you
    will be cursed;
anyone who blesses you
    will be blessed.”
