Genesis 27
27:1And it came to pass after the growing old of Isaac, that his eyes were blunted to see. And he called Esau his older son, and said to him, O my son. And he said, Behold, it is I.
27:2And he said, Behold, I have grown old, and I do not know the day of my decease.
27:3Now then, take your hunting equipment, both the quiver and the bow! and go forth into the plain, and hunt for me game!
27:4And make for me food as I am fond of, and bring it to me! that I may eat, so that my soul may bless you before my dying.
27:5And Rebekah heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son. And Esau went into the plain to hunt game for his father.
27:6And Rebekah said to Jacob her lesser son, See! I heard your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying,
27:7Bring to me game, and make food for me! that eating, I may bless you before the lord, before my dying.
27:8Now then, O my son, hear me as I give charge to you!
27:9And going unto the sheep, you take for me from there two kids, tender and good! And I will make them for food for your father as he is fond of.
27:10And you shall carry them in to your father, and he shall eat, that your father may bless you before his dying.
27:11And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, My brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man;
27:12lest at any time my father should handle me, and I will be before him as disdained, and I shall bring upon myself a curse, and not a blessing.
27:13And the mother said to him, Upon me be your curse, child. Only you heed my voice! And in going bring them to me!
27:14And going, he took them, and brought them to the mother. And his mother made food as his father was fond of.
27:15And Rebekah having taken the apparel of Esau her elder son, the goodly, which was by her in the house, she put it on Jacob her younger son.
27:16And she put the skins of the kids upon his arms, and upon the naked parts of his neck.
27:17And she gave the foods and the bread loaves which she made unto the hands of Jacob her son.
27:18And he carried in to his father. And he said, Father! And he said, Behold, it is I, who are you child?
27:19And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your first-born. I did as you told me. In rising up come take a seat and eat from my game! that your soul may bless me.
27:20And Isaac said to his son, What is this which so quickly you found, O child? And he said, that which the lord your God delivered up before me.
27:21And Isaac said to Jacob, Approach me, and I shall handle you child, to see if you are my son Esau or not!
27:22And Jacob approached to Isaac his father. And he handled him, and said, Indeed the voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
27:23And he did not recognized him, for his hands were as the hands of Esau his brother -- hairy; and he blessed him.
27:24And he said, You are my son Esau? And he said, I am.
27:25And he said, Bring to me! and I will eat from your game, child, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he carried to him wine, and he drank.
27:26And Isaac his father said to him, Approach me, and kiss me child!
27:27And approaching, he kissed him. And he smelled the scent of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the scent of my son is as the scent of a full field which the lord blessed;
27:28and may God give to you from the dew of the heaven, and from the fatness of the earth, and a multitude of grain and wine.
27:29And let nations be slave to you! And let rulers do obeisance to you! And you become master of your brother! And the sons of your father will do obeisance to you. The one cursing you will be accursed, and the one blessing you will be for a blessing.
27:30And it came to pass after the ceasing of Isaac blessing Jacob his son, that it happened as Jacob went forth from the face of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from the hunt.
27:31And he made also himself food, and brought it near his father. And he said to the father, Rise up my father, and eat from the game of his son! that your soul may bless me.
27:32And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, the first-born, Esau.
27:33And Isaac was amazed with an exceedingly great change of state. And he said, Who then is the one hunting game for me, and carrying it in to me? And I ate from all before your coming, and blessed him, and a blessing let it be!
27:34And it happened when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he yelled out with a great and exceedingly bitter voice. And he said, You bless indeed also me father!
27:35And he said to him, In coming, your brother with cunning took your blessing.
27:36And he said, Justly was his name called Jacob. For he has stomped upon me already this second time. Even my rights of the first-born he has taken, and now he took my blessing. And Esau said to his father, Do you not leave behind to me a blessing, O father?
27:37And answering Isaac said to Esau, If I made him master of you, and I made all his brothers his servants, to support him with grain and wine -- then to you what may I do child?
27:38And Esau said to his father, Is there not one blessing in you, O father? Indeed bless me also father! And Isaac being vexed, Esau yelled out a sound, and he wept.
27:39And Isaac his father answering said to him, Behold, from the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and from the dew of the heaven above.
27:40And upon your sword you shall live, and you will be a servant of your brother. And it will be when ever you should demolish and loosen his yoke from your neck.
27:41And Esau was angry at Jacob on account of the blessing of which his father blessed him. And Esau said in his mind, Let approach the days of the mourning of my father! that I may kill Jacob my brother.
27:42And were reported to Rebekah the words of Esau her elder son. And sending forth, she called Jacob her younger son, and she said to him, Behold, Esau, your brother threatens you -- to kill you.
27:43Now then, child, hear my voice! and rising up run away into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother in Haran!
27:44And live with him some days!
27:45until the turning back the rage and the anger of your brother from you, and he should forget what you have done to him. And sending, I will fetch you from there, lest at any time I should be childless from the two of you in one day.
27:46And Rebekah said to Isaac, I loathe my life, on account of the daughters of the sons of Heth. If Jacob shall take a wife from the daughters of this land, why is it for me to live?
