In Context

27Jacob went to Isaac and kissed him. Isaac smelled Esau's clothes that Jacob was wearing and so he blessed him and asked God to do good things for him and make him strong. He said, “Yes, I smell my son Esau. That smell comes from being in the bush, and God has made that smell good and strong.

29I ask God to make you strong so that you are boss over other nations, and they will bow down to show you respect. My son, I ask God to make you the boss over your brothers and that your brothers will bow down and show you respect too. I ask God that if anyone puts a curse on you, they will get a curse from God, but if anyone does good things for you, I ask God to do good things for them.” Isaac finished saying these words and Jacob went outside.
