Genesis 27:27-29
Good News Translation
27 (A)As he came up to kiss him, Isaac smelled his clothes—so he gave him his blessing. He said, “The pleasant smell of my son is like the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed. 28 May God give you dew from heaven and make your fields fertile! May he give you plenty of grain and wine! 29 (B)May nations be your servants, and may peoples bow down before you. May you rule over all your relatives, and may your mother's descendants bow down before you. May those who curse you be cursed, and may those who bless you be blessed.”

39 (A)Then Isaac said to him,
“No dew from heaven for you,
No fertile fields for you.
40 (B)You will live by your sword,
But be your brother's slave.
Yet when you rebel,[a]
You will break away from his control.”
