Genesis 27:29 in Context — Genesis 27

27 E ele se chegou, e lhe beijou; e cheirou Isaque o cheiro de suas roupas, e lhe abençoou, e disse: Eis que o cheiro de meu filho é como o cheiro do campo que o SENHOR abençoou;

28 Deus, pois, te dê do orvalho do céu, e das gorduras da terra, e abundância de trigo e de mosto.

29 Sirvam-te povos, E nações se inclinem a ti: Sê senhor de teus irmãos, e inclinem-se a ti os filhos de tua mãe; malditos os que te amaldiçoarem, e benditos os que te abençoarem.

30 E aconteceu, logo que havia Isaque de abençoar a Jacó, e apenas havia saído Jacó de diante de Isaque seu pai, que Esaú seu irmão veio de sua caça.

31 E também ele fez guisado, e trouxe a seu pai, e disse-lhe: Levante-se meu pai, e coma da caça de seu filho, para que me abençoe tua alma.
