The document summarizes Genesis 27:21-29, which describes Isaac blessing his son Jacob by mistake, thinking he was Esau. The blessing contained four elements: 1) A loving touch of affection between father and son. 2) Spoken words of admiration from the father. 3) A positive declaration of blessings from God. 4) A description of the son's glorious future destiny, with nations serving him and ruling over his brothers.

• Gen 27:21 "My son," Isaac said, "come closer,
where I can touch you and find out if you really
are Esau."
• Gen 27:22 Jacob went closer. His father touched
him and said, "You sound like Jacob, but your
hands feel hairy like Esau's."
• Gen 27:23 And so Isaac blessed Jacob, thinking
he was Esau.

• Gen 27:24 Isaac asked, "Are you really my
son Esau?" "Yes, I am," Jacob answered.
• Gen 27:25 So Isaac told him, "Serve me the
wild meat, and I can give you my blessing."
Jacob gave him some meat, and he ate it. He
also gave him some wine, and he drank it.
• Gen 27:26 Then Isaac said, "Son, come over
here and kiss me."

• Gen 27:27 While Jacob was kissing him,
Isaac caught the smell of his clothes and
said: "The smell of my son is like a field the
LORD has blessed.
• Gen 27:28 God will bless you, my son, with
dew from heaven and with fertile fields, rich
with grain and grapes.

• Gen 27:29 Nations will be your servants
and bow down to you. You will rule over
your brothers, and they will kneel at your
feet. Anyone who curses you will be
cursed; anyone who blesses you will be
blessed."
