Parallel

Genesis 27:36

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for lo! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast thou not left a blessing for me, father?
So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob (note: Jacob means he grasps the heel or he deceives.)? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
