Génesis 27:38 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:38

And Esau said unto his father, hast thou but one blessing, my
father?
&c.] He seems to speak diminutively of what had been given to Jacob, calling it one blessing: whereas there were many, and of different sorts, both temporal and spiritual; but it may be Esau had not so clear and comprehensive a view of what was contained in Jacob's blessing; or at least was willing to think and hope that there was not so much given, but there might be some behind for him, and that his father had a greater stock than to be drained of all at once: bless me, [even] me also, O my father:
with another blessing, with one equal to what has been given my brother: and Esau lift up his voice, and wept;
in order to move the affections of his father, and to prevail upon him to reverse the blessing he had bestowed on Jacob, and give it to him; but he could not bring his father to repentance, to change his mind, and revoke the blessing, and give it him, with all his crying and tears, as the apostle observes, ( Hebrews 12:17 ) .

Génesis 27:38 In-Context

36 —Con razón su nombre es Jacob —exclamó Esaú—, porque ahora ya me ha engañado dos veces.
Primero tomó mis derechos del hijo mayor, y ahora me robó la bendición. ¿No has guardado ni una bendición para mí?

37 —He puesto a Jacob como tu amo —dijo Isaac a Esaú—, y he declarado que todos sus hermanos serán sus siervos. Le he garantizado abundancia de grano y de vino; ¿qué me queda para darte a ti, hijo mío?

38 —¿Pero acaso tienes una sola bendición? Oh padre mío, ¡bendíceme también a mí! —le rogó Esaú.
Entonces Esaú perdió el control y se echó a llorar.

39 Finalmente su padre Isaac le dijo:
«Tú vivirás lejos de las riquezas de la tierra
y lejos del rocío que desciende de los cielos.

40 Vivirás de la espada
y servirás a tu hermano.
Sin embargo, cuando decidas liberarte,
te sacudirás su yugo del cuello».
