Genesis 49:22-26New King James Version (NKJV)22 "Joseph is a fruitful bough,
A fruitful bough by a well;
His branches run over the wall.
23 The archers have bitterly grieved him,
Shot at him and hated him.
24 But his bow remained in strength,
And the arms of his hands were made strong
By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob
(From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),
25 By the God of your father who will help you,
And by the Almighty who will bless you
With blessings of heaven above,
Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
26 The blessings of your father
Have excelled the blessings of my ancestors,
Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills.
They shall be on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.

In return for the food, Issac blessed Jacob. Esau soon returned, and Issac realized what he had done.
What two things did Jacob steal from esau?
Only one; and that was Isaac's chief blessing, which he had intended for Esau. The birthright itself was not stolen, since Esau willingly sold it to Jacob. The fact that he sold it for a bowl of food shows how little he valued it (Genesis 25:31-34). Concerning Jacob's stealing the blessing:Jacob posed as Esau in Isaac's presence (Genesis ch.27) and received the blessing that was meant for Esau. Jacob is not to blame, for the following reasons:1) The word of God had informed their mother Rebecca that Jacob the younger son would be the favored one; the one to prevail (Genesis 25:23). Acting on this, she commanded Jacob to pose as Esau and seek Isaac's blessing (27:6-10), despite his trepidation (27:11).2) By willingly having sold Jacob his birthright, Esau relinquished any claim to Isaac's chief blessing which would go to the firstborn. The fact that he later complained (27:36) doesn't change this; and he did receive a blessing of his own (27:39).3) Isaac had not been informed that Esau sold Jacob the birthright. When he was later told this, he understood why God had allowed Jacob to get the chief blessing, and he continued blessing Jacob on later occasions (ch.28), never censuring him. Moreover, God Himself gives Israel (Jacob) the title of firstborn (Exodus 4:22 with Rashi commentary).

In the historical context of Jacob and Esau, the birthright refers to the inheritance rights and privileges that the firstborn son receives, including a larger share of the family estate. The blessing, on the other hand, was a special declaration of favor and prosperity given by the father to his sons, which could include spiritual or leadership aspects. In the story of Jacob and Esau, Jacob deceived his father Isaac to receive both the birthright and the blessing intended for Esau.
