ISAAC, 1. The miraculous son of Abraham
Genesis 27:28-40
28. God give you of the dew of the sky,of the fatness of the earth,and plenty of grain and new wine.
29. Let peoples serve you,and nations bow down to you.Be lord over your brothers.Let your mother's sons bow down to you.Cursed be everyone who curses you.Blessed be everyone who blesses you."
30. As soon as ISAAC had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of ISAAC his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31. He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me."
32. ISAAC his father said to him, "Who are you?"He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."
33. ISAAC trembled violently, and said, "Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed."
34. When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father."
35. He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing."
36. He said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?"
37. ISAAC answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?"
38. Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39. ISAAC his father answered him,"Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling,and of the dew of the sky from above.
40. By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother.It will happen, when you will break loose,that you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."
Hebrews 11:20
By faith, ISAAC blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
