27:30 Esaw begs for a secondary blessing
30 Then just as Yitshak had finished blessing Yacob, and as Yacob had only just gone out from his father’s presence, his brother Esaw his brother returned from his hunting. 31 Then he too prepared some tasty food and brought it in to his father and said, “Let my father get up and eat from the game that his son hunted so that you can bless me.”
32 But Yitshak asked him, “Which son are you?”
“I’m your oldest son Esaw.” he answered.
33 Then Yitshak started to trembled badly and he said, “Then who was it that hunted game and brought it to me? I ate it all just before you came in, and I blessed that man and indeed, he’ll be blessed.”
34 When Esaw heard that, then he let out a very loud and exceedingly bitter wail, and then begged his father, “Bless me too, my father.”
35 But Yitshak replied, “Your brother came in and deceived me and he’s taken your blessing!”
36 “Yes, his name Yacob (meaning ‘deceiver’) suits him exactly!”[ref] said Esaw. “First he took my inheritance and man, now he’s also taken my blessing!” Then he asked, “Haven’t you at least saved a blessing for me?”
37 But Yitshak replied, “Listen, I’ve made him master over you, and I’ve given all his brothers to him as slaves. And I’ve sustained him with grain and wine. So then, what else can I do for you, my son?”
38 “Did you only have one blessing that you could give, my father? Esaw asked. “Bless me too, my father!” Then Esaw sobbed loudly.[ref]
39 Then his father Yitshak responded and said to him,[ref]
“Listen, you and your descendants will live
away from the most fertile land on the earth[fn]
in a place that doesn’t get dew from the sky.
40 You and your descendants will live by your sword,[ref]
and you’ll serve your brother.
you’ll all break away from serving them.
41 From that time onwards, Esaw hated Yacob because of the blessing that their father had blessed him with, and Esaw said to himself, “My father’s funeral can’t be that far away—after that I’ll kill my brother Yacob.”
42 But Rebekah got to hear about Esaw’s plans, so she sent for her younger son Yacob and told him, “Listen, your brother Esaw is coping with what happened by planning to kill you. 43 So my son, listen to what I’m saying: for your own sake, pack up and flee to my brother Lavan’s place in Haran 44 and stay with him for a while until your brother cools down. 45 When he’s no longer angry with you and forgets what you did to him, then I’ll send for you from there so you can return here. I don’t want to lose both of you on the same day?”
27:39 The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “away from the fatness of the earth and away from the dew of the heavens from above.” or “in a place/region where the earth/land/ground is not rich/fertile and where there is very little dew/rain.” or “in a place/region where the land/soil is not good for farming and where there is not much rain.” or (2) “of the fatness of the earth and of the dew of the heavens from above.” or “in a place where the land is good/fertile for farming and where there is plenty of dew/rain.”
Gen 25:29-34:
29 One day, Yacob was cooking some stew when Esaw arrived home from being out, and he was very hungry 30 and asked Yacob, “Can I have some of that red stuff because I’m starving.” (Esaw’s nickname became ‘Edom’, meaning ‘red’, because of that.)
31 “Well, today,” Yacob answered, “sell me your future inheritance.”
32 “Listen, I’m dying of starvation,” said Esaw, “so what use would a future inheritance be to me?”
33 “Well now, make a vow to me,” insisted Yacob.[ref]
So Esaw promised him, effectively selling his future inheritance to Yacob, 34 and Yacob gave him some of the lentil stew and some bread. So Esaw ate and drank and left again, thus despising his own inheritance as firstborn son.
Heb 12:17:
17 As you all know, even afterwards when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected because he couldn’t find a way to undo what he’d done despite looking for it along with his many tears.[ref]
Heb 11:20:
20 By faith, Isaac gave a blessing to Yacob and Esau.[ref]
Gen 36:8:
8 So Esaw (also known as Edom) settled his household in the Se’ir hills.
2Ki 8:20:
