1And it came to pass1961, that when Isaac3327 was old2204, and his eyes5869 were dim3543, so that he could not see7200, he called7121 Esau6215 his eldest1419 son1121, and said559 unto him, My son1121: and he said559 unto him, Behold, here am I.
2And he said559, Behold now, I am old2204, I know3045 not the day3117 of my death4194:
3Now therefore take5375, I pray thee, thy weapons3627, thy quiver8522 and thy bow7198, and go out3318 to the field7704, and take6679 me some venison6718 6720;
4And make6213 me savoury meat4303, such as834 I love157, and bring935 it to me, that I may eat398; that my soul5315 may bless1288 thee before2962 I die4191.
5And Rebekah7259 heard8085 when Isaac3327 spake1696 to Esau6215 his son1121. And Esau6215 went3212 to the field7704 to hunt6679 for venison6718, and to bring935 it.
6And Rebekah7259 spake559 unto Jacob3290 her son1121, saying559, Behold, I heard8085 thy father1 speak1696 unto Esau6215 thy brother251, saying559,
7Bring935 me venison6718, and make6213 me savoury meat4303, that I may eat398, and bless1288 thee before6440 the LORD3068 before6440 my death4194.
8Now therefore, my son1121, obey8085 my voice6963 according to that which834 I command6680 thee.
9Go3212 now to the flock6629, and fetch3947 me from thence two8147 good2896 kids1423 of the goats5795; and I will make6213 them savoury meat4303 for thy father1, such as he loveth157:
10And thou shalt bring935 it to thy father1, that he may eat398, and that834 he may bless1288 thee before6440 his death4194.
11And Jacob3290 said559 to Rebekah7259 his mother517, Behold, Esau6215 my brother251 is a hairy8163 man376, and I am a smooth2509 man376:
12My father1 peradventure will feel4959 me, and I shall seem5869 to him as a deceiver8591; and I shall bring935 a curse7045 upon me, and not a blessing1293.
13And his mother517 said559 unto him, Upon me be thy curse7045, my son1121: only obey8085 my voice6963, and go3212 fetch3947 me them.
14And he went3212, and fetched3947, and brought935 them to his mother517: and his mother517 made6213 savoury meat4303, such as his father1 loved157.
15And Rebekah7259 took3947 goodly2532 raiment899 of her eldest1419 son1121 Esau6215, which were with her in the house1004, and put them upon3847 Jacob3290 her younger6996 son1121:
16And she put3847 the skins5785 of the kids1423 of the goats5795 upon his hands3027, and upon the smooth2513 of his neck6677:
17And she gave5414 the savoury meat4303 and the bread3899, which she had prepared6213, into the hand3027 of her son1121 Jacob3290.
18And he came935 unto his father1, and said559, My father1: and he said559, Here am I; who art thou, my son1121?
19And Jacob3290 said559 unto his father1, I am Esau6215 thy firstborn1060; I have done6213 according as thou badest1696 me: arise6965, I pray thee, sit3427 and eat398 of my venison6718, that thy soul5315 may bless1288 me.
20And Isaac3327 said559 unto his son1121, How is it that thou hast found4672 it so quickly4116, my son1121? And he said559, Because the LORD3068 thy God430 brought7136 it to me6440.
21And Isaac3327 said559 unto Jacob3290, Come near5066, I pray thee, that I may feel4184 thee, my son1121, whether thou be my very2088 son1121 Esau6215 or not.
22And Jacob3290 went near5066 unto Isaac3327 his father1; and he felt4959 him, and said559, The voice6963 is Jacob's3290 voice6963, but the hands3027 are the hands3027 of Esau6215.
23And he discerned5234 him not, because his hands3027 were hairy8163, as his brother251 Esau's6215 hands3027: so he blessed1288 him.
24And he said559, Art thou my very son1121 Esau6215? And he said559, I am.
25And he said559, Bring it near5066 to me, and I will eat398 of my son's1121 venison6718, that my soul5315 may bless1288 thee. And he brought it near5066 to him, and he did eat398: and he brought935 him wine3196, and he drank8354.
26And his father1 Isaac3327 said559 unto him, Come near5066 now, and kiss5401 me, my son1121.
27And he came near5066, and kissed5401 him: and he smelled7306 the smell7381 of his raiment899, and blessed1288 him, and said559, See7200, the smell7381 of my son1121 is as the smell7381 of a field7704 which the LORD3068 hath blessed1288:
28Therefore God430 give5414 thee of the dew2919 of heaven8064, and the fatness4924 of the earth776, and plenty7230 of corn1715 and wine8492:
29Let people5971 serve5647 thee, and nations3816 bow down7812 to thee: be1933 lord1376 over thy brethren251, and let thy mother's517 sons1121 bow down7812 to thee: cursed779 be every one that curseth779 thee, and blessed1288 be he that blesseth1288 thee.
30And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac3327 had made an end3615 of blessing1288 Jacob3290, and Jacob3290 was yet389 scarce3318 gone out3318 from the presence6440 of Isaac3327 his father1, that Esau6215 his brother251 came in935 from his hunting6718.
31And he also had made6213 savoury meat4303, and brought it935 unto his father1, and said559 unto his father1, Let my father1 arise6965, and eat398 of his son's1121 venison6718, that thy soul5315 may bless1288 me.
32And Isaac3327 his father1 said559 unto him, Who art thou? And he said559, I am thy son1121, thy firstborn1060 Esau6215.
33And Isaac3327 trembled2729 very1419 exceedingly3966 2731, and said559, Who? where645 is he that hath taken6679 venison6718, and brought935 it me, and I have eaten398 of all before thou camest935, and have blessed1288 him? yea, and he shall be blessed1288.
34And when Esau6215 heard8085 the words1697 of his father1, he cried6817 with a great1419 and exceeding3966 bitter4751 cry6818, and said559 unto his father1, Bless1288 me, even me also, O my father1.
35And he said559, Thy brother251 came935 with subtilty4820, and hath taken away3947 thy blessing1293.
36And he said559, Is not he rightly3588 named7121 8034 Jacob3290? for he hath supplanted me6117 these2088 two times6471: he took away3947 my birthright1062; and, behold, now he hath taken away3947 my blessing1293. And he said559, Hast thou not reserved680 a blessing1293 for me?
37And Isaac3327 answered6030 and said559 unto Esau6215, Behold, I have made7760 him thy lord1376, and all his brethren251 have I given5414 to him for servants5650; and with corn1715 and wine8492 have I sustained5564 him: and what shall I do6213 now645 unto thee, my son1121?
38And Esau6215 said559 unto his father1, Hast thou but one259 blessing1293, my father1? bless1288 me, even me also, O my father1. And Esau6215 lifted up5375 his voice6963, and wept1058.
39And Isaac3327 his father1 answered6030 and said559 unto him, Behold, thy dwelling4186 shall be the fatness4924 of the earth776, and of the dew2919 of heaven8064 from above5920;
40And by thy sword2719 shalt thou live2421, and shalt serve5647 thy brother251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion7300, that thou shalt break6561 his yoke5923 from off thy neck6677.
41And Esau6215 hated7852 Jacob3290 because5921 of the blessing1293 wherewith834 his father1 blessed him1288: and Esau6215 said559 in his heart3820, The days3117 of mourning60 for my father1 are at hand7126; then will I slay2026 my brother251 Jacob3290.
42And these words1697 of Esau6215 her elder1419 son1121 were told5046 to Rebekah7259: and she sent7971 and called7121 Jacob3290 her younger6996 son1121, and said559 unto him, Behold, thy brother251 Esau6215, as touching thee, doth comfort5162 himself, purposing to kill2026 thee.
43Now therefore, my son1121, obey8085 my voice6963; and arise6965, flee1272 thou to Laban3837 my brother251 to Haran2771;
44And tarry3427 with him a few259 days3117, until834 thy brother's251 fury2534 turn away7725;
45Until thy brother's251 anger639 turn away7725 from thee, and he forget7911 that which thou hast done6213 to him: then I will send7971, and fetch3947 thee from thence: why4100 should I be deprived7921 also of you both8147 in one259 day3117?
46And Rebekah7259 said559 to Isaac3327, I am weary6973 of my life2416 because6440 of the daughters1323 of Heth2845: if Jacob3290 take3947 a wife802 of the daughters1323 of Heth2845, such as these which are of the daughters1323 of the land776, what good4100 shall my life2416 do me?
