UTN uW Translation Notes:

Here the author refers to a story about how Isaac blessed his twin sons Jacob and Esau. In the story, Jacob pretends to be Esau and receives the blessing that Isaac intended for Esau. When Esau comes to receive his blessing, Isaac realizes that Jacob stole the blessing from Esau. He then gives Esau a different blessing. You can read about Isaac blessing his sons in Genesis 27:1–40. You might want to include this information in a footnote.
