1 And it came to pass <01961> (8799), that when Isaac <03327> was old <02204> (8804), and his eyes <05869> were dim <03543> (8799), so that he could not see <07200> (8800), he called <07121> (8799) Esau <06215> his eldest <01419> son <01121>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, My son <01121>: and he said <0559> (8799) unto him, Behold, here am I.
2 And he said <0559> (8799), Behold now, I am old <02204> (8804), I know <03045> (8804) not the day <03117> of my death <04194>:
3 Now therefore take <05375> (8798), I pray thee, thy weapons <03627>, thy quiver <08522> and thy bow <07198>, and go out <03318> (8798) to the field <07704>, and take <06679> (8798) me some venison <06718> (8675) <06720>;
4 And make <06213> (8798) me savoury meat <04303>, such as <0834> I love <0157> (8804), and bring <0935> (8685) it to me, that I may eat <0398> (8799); that my soul <05315> may bless <01288> (8762) thee before <02962> I die <04191> (8799).
5 And Rebekah <07259> heard <08085> (8802) when Isaac <03327> spake <01696> (8763) to Esau <06215> his son <01121>. And Esau <06215> went <03212> (8799) to the field <07704> to hunt <06679> (8800) for venison <06718>, and to bring <0935> (8687) it.
6 And Rebekah <07259> spake <0559> (8804) unto Jacob <03290> her son <01121>, saying <0559> (8800), Behold, I heard <08085> (8804) thy father <01> speak <01696> (8764) unto Esau <06215> thy brother <0251> , saying <0559> (8800),
7 Bring <0935> (8685) me venison <06718>, and make <06213> (8798) me savoury meat <04303>, that I may eat <0398> (8799), and bless <01288> (8762) thee before <06440> the LORD <03068> before <06440> my death <04194>.
8 Now therefore, my son <01121>, obey <08085> (8798) my voice <06963> according to that which <0834> I command <06680> (8764) thee.
9 Go <03212> (8798) now to the flock <06629>, and fetch <03947> (8798) me from thence two <08147> good <02896> kids <01423> of the goats <05795>; and I will make <06213> (8799) them savoury meat <04303> for thy father <01> , such as he loveth <0157> (8804):
10 And thou shalt bring <0935> (8689) it to thy father <01>, that he may eat <0398> (8804), and that <0834> he may bless <01288> (8762) thee before <06440> his death <04194>.
11 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799) to Rebekah <07259> his mother <0517>, Behold, Esau <06215> my brother <0251> is a hairy <08163> man <0376>, and I am a smooth <02509> man <0376>:
12 My father <01> peradventure will feel <04959> (8799) me, and I shall seem <05869> to him as a deceiver <08591> (8772); and I shall bring <0935> (8689) a curse <07045> upon me, and not a blessing <01293>.
13 And his mother <0517> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Upon me be thy curse <07045>, my son <01121>: only obey <08085> (8798) my voice <06963>, and go <03212> (8798) fetch <03947> (8798) me them.
14 And he went <03212> (8799), and fetched <03947> (8799), and brought <0935> (8686) them to his mother <0517>: and his mother <0517> made <06213> (8799) savoury meat <04303>, such as his father <01> loved <0157> (8804).
15 And Rebekah <07259> took <03947> (8799) goodly <02532> raiment <0899> of her eldest <01419> son <01121> Esau <06215>, which were with her in the house <01004>, and put them upon <03847> (8686) Jacob <03290> her younger <06996> son <01121>:
16 And she put <03847> (8689) the skins <05785> of the kids <01423> of the goats <05795> upon his hands <03027> , and upon the smooth <02513> of his neck <06677>:
17 And she gave <05414> (8799) the savoury meat <04303> and the bread <03899>, which she had prepared <06213> (8804), into the hand <03027> of her son <01121> Jacob <03290>.
18 And he came <0935> (8799) unto his father <01>, and said <0559> (8799), My father <01>: and he said <0559> (8799), Here am I; who art thou, my son <01121>?
19 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799) unto his father <01>, I am Esau <06215> thy firstborn <01060> ; I have done <06213> (8804) according as thou badest <01696> (8765) me: arise <06965> (8798), I pray thee, sit <03427> (8798) and eat <0398> (8798) of my venison <06718>, that thy soul <05315> may bless <01288> (8762) me.
20 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> (8799) unto his son <01121>, How is it that thou hast found <04672> (8800) it so quickly <04116> (8765), my son <01121>? And he said <0559> (8799), Because the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> brought <07136> (8689) it to me <06440>.
21 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> (8799) unto Jacob <03290>, Come near <05066> (8798), I pray thee, that I may feel <04184> (8799) thee, my son <01121>, whether thou be my very <02088> son <01121> Esau <06215> or not.
22 And Jacob <03290> went near <05066> (8799) unto Isaac <03327> his father <01>; and he felt <04959> (8799) him, and said <0559> (8799), The voice <06963> is Jacob#s <03290> voice <06963>, but the hands <03027> are the hands <03027> of Esau <06215>.
23 And he discerned <05234> (8689) him not, because his hands <03027> were hairy <08163>, as his brother <0251> Esau#s <06215> hands <03027>: so he blessed <01288> (8762) him.
24 And he said <0559> (8799), Art thou my very son <01121> Esau <06215>? And he said <0559> (8799), I am.
25 And he said <0559> (8799), Bring it near <05066> (8685) to me, and I will eat <0398> (8799) of my son#s <01121> venison <06718>, that my soul <05315> may bless <01288> (8762) thee. And he brought it near <05066> (8686) to him, and he did eat <0398> (8799): and he brought <0935> (8686) him wine <03196>, and he drank <08354> (8799).
26 And his father <01> Isaac <03327> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Come near <05066> (8798) now, and kiss <05401> (8798) me, my son <01121>.
27 And he came near <05066> (8799), and kissed <05401> (8799) him: and he smelled <07306> (8686) the smell <07381> of his raiment <0899>, and blessed <01288> (8762) him, and said <0559> (8799), See <07200> (8798) , the smell <07381> of my son <01121> is as the smell <07381> of a field <07704> which the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> (8765):
28 Therefore God <0430> give <05414> (8799) thee of the dew <02919> of heaven <08064>, and the fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>, and plenty <07230> of corn <01715> and wine <08492>:
29 Let people <05971> serve <05647> (8799) thee, and nations <03816> bow down <07812> (8691) to thee: be <01933> (8798) lord <01376> over thy brethren <0251>, and let thy mother#s <0517> sons <01121> bow down <07812> (8691) to thee: cursed <0779> (8803) be every one that curseth <0779> (8802) thee, and blessed <01288> (8803) be he that blesseth <01288> (8764) thee.
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac <03327> had made an end <03615> (8765) of blessing <01288> (8763) Jacob <03290>, and Jacob <03290> was yet <0389> scarce <03318> (8800) gone out <03318> (8804) from the presence <06440> of Isaac <03327> his father <01>, that Esau <06215> his brother <0251> came in <0935> (8804) from his hunting <06718>.
31 And he also had made <06213> (8799) savoury meat <04303>, and brought it <0935> (8686) unto his father <01>, and said <0559> (8799) unto his father <01>, Let my father <01> arise <06965> (8799), and eat <0398> (8799) of his son#s <01121> venison <06718>, that thy soul <05315> may bless <01288> (8762) me.
32 And Isaac <03327> his father <01> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Who art thou? And he said <0559> (8799), I am thy son <01121>, thy firstborn <01060> Esau <06215>.
33 And Isaac <03327> trembled <02729> (8799) very <01419> exceedingly <03966> <02731>, and said <0559> (8799), Who? where <0645> is he that hath taken <06679> (8801) venison <06718>, and brought <0935> (8686) it me, and I have eaten <0398> (8799) of all before thou camest <0935> (8799), and have blessed <01288> (8762) him? yea, and he shall be blessed <01288> (8803).
34 And when Esau <06215> heard <08085> (8800) the words <01697> of his father <01>, he cried <06817> (8799) with a great <01419> and exceeding <03966> bitter <04751> cry <06818>, and said <0559> (8799) unto his father <01>, Bless <01288> (8761) me, even me also, O my father <01>.
35 And he said <0559> (8799), Thy brother <0251> came <0935> (8804) with subtilty <04820>, and hath taken away <03947> (8799) thy blessing <01293>.
36 And he said <0559> (8799), Is not he rightly <03588> named <07121> (8804) <08034> Jacob <03290> ? for he hath supplanted me <06117> (8799) these <02088> two times <06471>: he took away <03947> (8804) my birthright <01062>; and, behold, now he hath taken away <03947> (8804) my blessing <01293>. And he said <0559> (8799), Hast thou not reserved <0680> (8804) a blessing <01293> for me?
37 And Isaac <03327> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto Esau <06215>, Behold, I have made <07760> (8804) him thy lord <01376>, and all his brethren <0251> have I given <05414> (8804) to him for servants <05650>; and with corn <01715> and wine <08492> have I sustained <05564> (8804) him: and what shall I do <06213> (8799) now <0645> unto thee, my son <01121>?
38 And Esau <06215> said <0559> (8799) unto his father <01>, Hast thou but one <0259> blessing <01293> , my father <01>? bless <01288> (8761) me, even me also, O my father <01>. And Esau <06215> lifted up <05375> (8799) his voice <06963>, and wept <01058> (8799).
39 And Isaac <03327> his father <01> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Behold, thy dwelling <04186> shall be the fatness <04924> of the earth <0776>, and of the dew <02919> of heaven <08064> from above <05920> ;
40 And by thy sword <02719> shalt thou live <02421> (8799), and shalt serve <05647> (8799) thy brother <0251> ; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion <07300> (8686), that thou shalt break <06561> (8804) his yoke <05923> from off thy neck <06677>.
41 And Esau <06215> hated <07852> (8799) Jacob <03290> because <05921> of the blessing <01293> wherewith <0834> his father <01> blessed him <01288> (8765): and Esau <06215> said <0559> (8799) in his heart <03820> , The days <03117> of mourning <060> for my father <01> are at hand <07126> (8799); then will I slay <02026> (8799) my brother <0251> Jacob <03290>.
42 And these words <01697> of Esau <06215> her elder <01419> son <01121> were told <05046> (8714) to Rebekah <07259>: and she sent <07971> (8799) and called <07121> (8799) Jacob <03290> her younger <06996> son <01121>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Behold, thy brother <0251> Esau <06215>, as touching thee, doth comfort <05162> (8693) himself, purposing to kill <02026> (8800) thee.
43 Now therefore, my son <01121>, obey <08085> (8798) my voice <06963>; and arise <06965> (8798), flee <01272> (8798) thou to Laban <03837> my brother <0251> to Haran <02771>;
44 And tarry <03427> (8804) with him a few <0259> days <03117>, until <0834> thy brother#s <0251> fury <02534> turn away <07725> (8799);
45 Until thy brother#s <0251> anger <0639> turn away <07725> (8800) from thee, and he forget <07911> (8804) that which thou hast done <06213> (8804) to him: then I will send <07971> (8804), and fetch <03947> (8804) thee from thence: why <04100> should I be deprived <07921> (8799) also of you both <08147> in one <0259> day <03117>?
46 And Rebekah <07259> said <0559> (8799) to Isaac <03327>, I am weary <06973> (8804) of my life <02416> because <06440> of the daughters <01323> of Heth <02845>: if Jacob <03290> take <03947> (8802) a wife <0802> of the daughters <01323> of Heth <02845>, such as these which are of the daughters <01323> of the land <0776>, what good <04100> shall my life <02416> do me?
