27:36 Esau began to realize Jacob’s true nature, saying he has cheated me (or tripped me up, or deceived me) twice, by taking the birthright (the right of inheritance, Hebrew bekorah; 25:27-34) and by deceiving their father to receive the blessing (the spoken pronouncement of the inheritance, Hebrew berakah). • Esau’s assessment of Jacob was correct, but he failed to see his own ungodliness in these transactions (see study note on 27:5; Heb 12:16).
