35 And he said, “(A)Your brother came deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.” 36 Then Esau said, “[a]Is he not rightly named (B)[b]Jacob, for he has betrayed me these two times? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?” 37 But Isaac replied to Esau, “Behold, I have made him (C)your master, and I have given to him all his relatives [c]as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?”
