Genesis 27:29 meaning and explanation
May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
Genesis 27:29, Berean Standard Bible

Isaac, old and blind, speaks this blessing over Jacob, who has just deceived him into thinking he is Esau. The words belong to the blessing Isaac meant for his firstborn, and they echo the promise God made to Abraham in Genesis 12:3, that blessing and cursing would follow those who belong to the chosen line.
