Abraham Blesses Jacob

26Then he summoned Jacob into the presence of his mother Rebekah, kissed him, blessed him, and said, 27“My dear son Jacob whom I myself love, may God bless you from above the firmament. May he give you all the blessings with which he blessed Adam, Enoch, Noah, and Shem. Everything that he said to me and everything that he promised to give me may he attach to you and your descendants until eternity—like the days of heaven above the earth. 28May the spirits of Mastemaa not rule over you and your descendants to remove you from following the Lord who is your God from now and forever. 29May the Lord God be your Father and you his firstborn son and people for all time. Go in peace, my son.”
