GE-27:1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his
eyes were dim,
so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and
said unto him, My
son: and he said unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
GE-27:2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day
of my death:
GE-27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy
quiver and thy bow,
and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison;
GE-27:4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring
[it] to me, that
I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
GE-27:5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And
Esau went to
the field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring [it].
GE-27:6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I
heard thy
father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
GE-27:7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may
eat, and bless
thee before the LORD before my death.
GE-27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that
which I
command thee.
GE-27:9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good
kids of the
goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as
he loveth:
GE-27:10 And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may
eat, and that
he may bless thee before his death.
GE-27:11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my
brother [is] a
hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man:
GE-27:12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem
to him as a
deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
GE-27:13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse,
my son: only
obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].
GE-27:14 And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his
mother: and his
mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
GE-27:15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau,
which [were]
with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
GE-27:16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon
his hands, and
upon the smooth of his neck:
GE-27:17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she
had prepared,
into the hand of her son Jacob.
GE-27:18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and
he said, Here
[am] I; who [art] thou, my son?
GE-27:19 And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy
firstborn; I have
done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and
eat of my
venison, that thy soul may bless me.
GE-27:20 And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that thou
hast found [it]
so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God
brought [it] to me.
GE-27:21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee,
that I may feel
thee, my son, whether thou [be] my very son Esau or not.
GE-27:22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt
him, and
said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the
hands of Esau.
GE-27:23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy,
as his
brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
GE-27:24 And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said,
I [am].
GE-27:25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of
my son's
venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near
to him, and he
did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
GE-27:26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and
kiss me, my
son.
GE-27:27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the
smell of his
raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son
[is] as the smell
of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
GE-27:28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the
fatness of the
earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
GE-27:29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee:
be lord over
thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed
[be] every
one that curseth thee, and blessed [be] he that blesseth thee.
GE-27:30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end
of blessing
Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of
Isaac his
father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
GE-27:31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto
his father,
and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his
son's venison,
that thy soul may bless me.
GE-27:32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who [art] thou?
And he said, I
[am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
GE-27:33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who?
where [is] he
that hath taken venison, and brought [it] me, and I have eaten
of all before
thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, [and] he shall be
blessed.
GE-27:34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried
with a great
and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me,
[even] me also,
O my father.
GE-27:35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath
taken away thy
blessing.
