Then said
he: bring me and let me eat of my son's venison, that my soul may
bless thee. And he brought him, and he ate. And he brought him
wine also, and he drank. And his father Isaac said unto him: come
near and kiss me my son. And he went to him and kissed him. And he
smelled the savour of his raiment and blessed him, and said See,
the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD
{lorde} hath blessed. God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of
the fatness of the earth and plenty of corn and wine. People be
thy servants and nations bow unto thee. Be lord over thy brethren,
and thy mother's children stoop unto thee. Cursed be he that
curseth thee, and blessed {lessed} be he that blesseth thee. As
soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Iacob, and Iacob was
scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father: then came
Esau his brother from his hunting: and had made also meat, and
brought it in unto his father and said unto him: Arise my father
and eat of thy son's venison, that thy soul may bless me. Then his
father Isaac said unto him: Who art thou? he answered I am thy
eldest son Esau. And Isaac was greatly astonied out of measure,
and said: Where is he then that hath hunted venison and brought it
me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed
him, and he shall be blessed still.
