When Esau heard the words of
his father, he cried out greatly and bitterly above measure, and
said unto his father: bless me also my father. And he said thy
brother came with subtlety, and hath taken away thy blessing. Then
said he: He may well be called Iacob, for he hath undermined me
now two times, first he took away my birthright: and see, now hath
he taken away my blessing also. And he said, hast thou kept never
a blessing for me? Isaac answered and said unto Esau: behold I
have made him thy lord, {LORde} and all his mother's children have
I made his servants. Moreover with corn and wine have I stablished
him, what can I do unto thee now my son? And Esau said unto his
father: hast thou but that one blessing my father? bless me also
my father: so lifted up Esau his voice and wept. Then Isaac his
father answered and said unto him: Behold thy dwelling place shall
have of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from
above. And with thy sword shalt thou live and shalt be thy
brother's servant; But the time will come, when thou shalt get the
mastery, and lowse his yoke from off thy neck. And Esau hated
Iacob, because of the blessing that his father blessed him withal,
and said in his heart: The days of my father's sorrow are at hand,
for I will slay my brother Iacob.
