” and he went up and kissed him, saying, “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of the fields that the Lord has blessed.
“May God give you
Of the dew of heaven and the fat of the earth,
Abundance of the new grain and wine.
Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow to you;
Be master over your brothers,
And let your mother’s sons bow to you.
Cursed be they who surse you,
Blessed they who bless you.”
