Genesis 27:31-33
1599 Geneva Bible
31 And he also prepared savory meat, and brought it to his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32 But his father Isaac said unto him, Who art thou? And he answered, I am thy son, even thy firstborn Esau.
33 Then Isaac was [a]stricken with a marvelous great fear, and said, Who and where is he that hunted venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten [b]of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, therefore he shall be blessed.
