The thirteenth Sermon of Jacob and Esau, Genesis 27.
The thirteenth Sermon of Iacob and Esau, Genesis 27.
31 Isaac said, accursed be every one that shall curse thee, and blessed be he that shall bless thee. 32 Now as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob: it came to pass I say, that Jacob being scarce gone forth from the presence of his father Isaac that Esau returned from his hunting. 33 Therefore he also brought unto his father delicates prepared: and he said unto his father, let my father arise and eat of the venison of his son, that thy soul may bless me. 34 Now Isaac saith unto him, who art thou? he said, I am thy first begotten son Esau. 35 Then Isaac trembled with a wonderful fear and said, who is that which brought unto me venison even now, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and whom have I blessed? also he shall be blessed. 36 Now Esau hearing the words of his father, cried out with a wonderful great and bitter cry: and he said unto his father, bless me, my father bless me also. 37 Who said, thy brother came through craft, and hath taken away thy blessing. 38 And he said, how rightly is his name called. Jacob! for he hath supplanted me now the second time, he had taken my birthright, and lo now he hath taken my blessing also, &c.
31 Isaack saide, accursed be euery one that shall curse thee, and blessed be he that shall blesse thee. 32 Nowe as Isaack had made an ende of blessing Iacob: it came to passe I say, that Iacob being scarce gone forth from the presence of his father Isaack that Esau returned from his hunting. 33 Therfore he also brought vnto his father delicates prepared: and he said vnto his father, let my father arise and eate of the venison of his sonne, that thy soule may blesse mee. 34 Nowe Isaack saith vnto him, who art thou? he sayde, I am thy first begotten sonne Esau. 35 Then Isaack trembled with a wonderful feare and saide, who is that which brought vnto me venison euen nowe, and I haue eaten of all before thou camest, and whome haue I blessed? also he shalbe blessed. 36 Now Esau hearing the words of his father, cried out with a wonderful great and bitter crie: and he said vnto his father, blesse me, my father blesse me also. 37 Who said, thy brother came through crafte, and hath taken away thy blessing. 38 And he saide, howe rightly is his name called. Iacob! for he hath supplanted me nowe the second time, he had taken my birthright, and loe now he hath taken my blessing also, &c.
