Genesis 27:36
And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? [Supplanter] for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
Geneva Bible - Then he said, Was he not justly called (g) Jacob? For he hath deceived me these
two times. He took my birthright, and lo, now hath he taken my blessing. Also he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
(g) In Genesis 25:26, he was so called because he held his brother by the heel, as though he would
overthrow him; and therefore he is here called an overthrower, or deceiver.
