1 And it came to pass * h1961 h8799, that when Isaac * h3327 was old * h2204 h8804, and his eyes * h5869 were dim * h3543 h8799, so that he could not see * h7200 h8800, he called * h7121 h8799 Esau * h6215 his eldest * h1419 son * h1121, and said * h559 h8799 unto him, My son * h1121: and he said * h559 h8799 unto him, Behold, here am I.
2 And he said * h559 h8799, Behold now, I am old * h2204 h8804, I know * h3045 h8804 not the day * h3117 of my death * h4194:
3 Now therefore take * h5375 h8798, I pray thee, thy weapons * h3627, thy quiver * h8522 and thy bow * h7198, and go out * h3318 h8798 to the field * h7704, and take * h6679 h8798 me some venison * h6718 h8675 * h6720; take: Heb. hunt
4 And make * h6213 h8798 me savoury meat * h4303, such as * h834 I love * h157 h8804, and bring * h935 h8685 it to me, that I may eat * h398 h8799; that my soul * h5315 may bless * h1288 h8762 thee before * h2962 I die * h4191 h8799.
5 And Rebekah * h7259 heard * h8085 h8802 when Isaac * h3327 spake * h1696 h8763 to Esau * h6215 his son * h1121. And Esau * h6215 went * h3212 h8799 to the field * h7704 to hunt * h6679 h8800 for venison * h6718, and to bring * h935 h8687 it .
6 And Rebekah * h7259 spake * h559 h8804 unto Jacob * h3290 her son * h1121, saying * h559 h8800, Behold, I heard * h8085 h8804 thy father * h1 speak * h1696 h8764 unto Esau * h6215 thy brother * h251, saying * h559 h8800,
7 Bring * h935 h8685 me venison * h6718, and make * h6213 h8798 me savoury meat * h4303, that I may eat * h398 h8799, and bless * h1288 h8762 thee before * h6440 the LORD * h3068 before * h6440 my death * h4194.
8 Now therefore, my son * h1121, obey * h8085 h8798 my voice * h6963 according to that which * h834 I command * h6680 h8764 thee.
9 Go * h3212 h8798 now to the flock * h6629, and fetch * h3947 h8798 me from thence two * h8147 good * h2896 kids * h1423 of the goats * h5795; and I will make * h6213 h8799 them savoury meat * h4303 for thy father * h1, such as he loveth * h157 h8804:
10 And thou shalt bring * h935 h8689 it to thy father * h1, that he may eat * h398 h8804, and that * h834 he may bless * h1288 h8762 thee before * h6440 his death * h4194.
11 And Jacob * h3290 said * h559 h8799 to Rebekah * h7259 his mother * h517, Behold, Esau * h6215 my brother * h251 is a hairy * h8163 man * h376, and I am a smooth * h2509 man * h376:
12 My father * h1 peradventure will feel * h4959 h8799 me, and I shall seem * h5869 to him as a deceiver * h8591 h8772; and I shall bring * h935 h8689 a curse * h7045 upon me, and not a blessing * h1293.
13 And his mother * h517 said * h559 h8799 unto him, Upon me be thy curse * h7045, my son * h1121: only obey * h8085 h8798 my voice * h6963, and go * h3212 h8798 fetch * h3947 h8798 me them .
14 And he went * h3212 h8799, and fetched * h3947 h8799, and brought * h935 h8686 them to his mother * h517: and his mother * h517 made * h6213 h8799 savoury meat * h4303, such as his father * h1 loved * h157 h8804.
15 And Rebekah * h7259 took * h3947 h8799 goodly * h2532 raiment * h899 of her eldest * h1419 son * h1121 Esau * h6215, which were with her in the house * h1004, and put them upon * h3847 h8686 Jacob * h3290 her younger * h6996 son * h1121: goodly: Heb. desirable
16 And she put * h3847 h8689 the skins * h5785 of the kids * h1423 of the goats * h5795 upon his hands * h3027, and upon the smooth * h2513 of his neck * h6677:
17 And she gave * h5414 h8799 the savoury meat * h4303 and the bread * h3899, which she had prepared * h6213 h8804, into the hand * h3027 of her son * h1121 Jacob * h3290.
18 And he came * h935 h8799 unto his father * h1, and said * h559 h8799, My father * h1: and he said * h559 h8799, Here am I; who art thou, my son * h1121?
19 And Jacob * h3290 said * h559 h8799 unto his father * h1, I am Esau * h6215 thy firstborn * h1060; I have done * h6213 h8804 according as thou badest * h1696 h8765 me: arise * h6965 h8798, I pray thee, sit * h3427 h8798 and eat * h398 h8798 of my venison * h6718, that thy soul * h5315 may bless * h1288 h8762 me.
20 And Isaac * h3327 said * h559 h8799 unto his son * h1121, How is it that thou hast found * h4672 h8800 it so quickly * h4116 h8765, my son * h1121? And he said * h559 h8799, Because the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 brought * h7136 h8689 it to me * h6440. to me: Heb. before me
21 And Isaac * h3327 said * h559 h8799 unto Jacob * h3290, Come near * h5066 h8798, I pray thee, that I may feel * h4184 h8799 thee, my son * h1121, whether thou be my very * h2088 son * h1121 Esau * h6215 or not.
22 And Jacob * h3290 went near * h5066 h8799 unto Isaac * h3327 his father * h1; and he felt * h4959 h8799 him, and said * h559 h8799, The voice * h6963 is Jacob's * h3290 voice * h6963, but the hands * h3027 are the hands * h3027 of Esau * h6215.
23 And he discerned * h5234 h8689 him not, because his hands * h3027 were hairy * h8163, as his brother * h251 Esau's * h6215 hands * h3027: so he blessed * h1288 h8762 him.
24 And he said * h559 h8799, art thou my very son * h1121 Esau * h6215? And he said * h559 h8799, I am .
25 And he said * h559 h8799, Bring it near * h5066 h8685 to me, and I will eat * h398 h8799 of my son's * h1121 venison * h6718, that my soul * h5315 may bless * h1288 h8762 thee. And he brought it near * h5066 h8686 to him, and he did eat * h398 h8799: and he brought * h935 h8686 him wine * h3196, and he drank * h8354 h8799.
26 And his father * h1 Isaac * h3327 said * h559 h8799 unto him, Come near * h5066 h8798 now, and kiss * h5401 h8798 me, my son * h1121.
27 And he came near * h5066 h8799, and kissed * h5401 h8799 him: and he smelled * h7306 h8686 the smell * h7381 of his raiment * h899, and blessed * h1288 h8762 him, and said * h559 h8799, See * h7200 h8798, the smell * h7381 of my son * h1121 is as the smell * h7381 of a field * h7704 which the LORD * h3068 hath blessed * h1288 h8765:
28 Therefore God * h430 give * h5414 h8799 thee of the dew * h2919 of heaven * h8064, and the fatness * h4924 of the earth * h776, and plenty * h7230 of corn * h1715 and wine * h8492:
29 Let people * h5971 serve * h5647 h8799 thee, and nations * h3816 bow down * h7812 h8691 to thee: be * h1933 h8798 lord * h1376 over thy brethren * h251, and let thy mother's * h517 sons * h1121 bow down * h7812 h8691 to thee: cursed * h779 h8803 be every one that curseth * h779 h8802 thee, and blessed * h1288 h8803 be he that blesseth * h1288 h8764 thee.
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac * h3327 had made an end * h3615 h8765 of blessing * h1288 h8763 Jacob * h3290, and Jacob * h3290 was yet * h389 scarce * h3318 h8800 gone out * h3318 h8804 from the presence * h6440 of Isaac * h3327 his father * h1, that Esau * h6215 his brother * h251 came in * h935 h8804 from his hunting * h6718.
31 And he also had made * h6213 h8799 savoury meat * h4303, and brought it * h935 h8686 unto his father * h1, and said * h559 h8799 unto his father * h1, Let my father * h1 arise * h6965 h8799, and eat * h398 h8799 of his son's * h1121 venison * h6718, that thy soul * h5315 may bless * h1288 h8762 me.
32 And Isaac * h3327 his father * h1 said * h559 h8799 unto him, Who art thou? And he said * h559 h8799, I am thy son * h1121, thy firstborn * h1060 Esau * h6215.
33 And Isaac * h3327 trembled * h2729 h8799 very * h1419 exceedingly * h3966 * h2731, and said * h559 h8799, Who? where * h645 is he that hath taken * h6679 h8801 venison * h6718, and brought * h935 h8686 it me, and I have eaten * h398 h8799 of all before thou camest * h935 h8799, and have blessed * h1288 h8762 him? yea, and he shall be blessed * h1288 h8803. trembled...: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly taken: Heb. hunted
34 And when Esau * h6215 heard * h8085 h8800 the words * h1697 of his father * h1, he cried * h6817 h8799 with a great * h1419 and exceeding * h3966 bitter * h4751 cry * h6818, and said * h559 h8799 unto his father * h1, Bless * h1288 h8761 me, even me also, O my father * h1.
35 And he said * h559 h8799, Thy brother * h251 came * h935 h8804 with subtilty * h4820, and hath taken away * h3947 h8799 thy blessing * h1293.
36 And he said * h559 h8799, Is not he rightly * h3588 named * h7121 h8804 * h8034 Jacob * h3290? for he hath supplanted me * h6117 h8799 these * h2088 two times * h6471: he took away * h3947 h8804 my birthright * h1062; and, behold, now he hath taken away * h3947 h8804 my blessing * h1293. And he said * h559 h8799, Hast thou not reserved * h680 h8804 a blessing * h1293 for me? Jacob: that is, A supplanter
37 And Isaac * h3327 answered * h6030 h8799 and said * h559 h8799 unto Esau * h6215, Behold, I have made * h7760 h8804 him thy lord * h1376, and all his brethren * h251 have I given * h5414 h8804 to him for servants * h5650; and with corn * h1715 and wine * h8492 have I sustained * h5564 h8804 him: and what shall I do * h6213 h8799 now * h645 unto thee, my son * h1121? sustained: or, supported
38 And Esau * h6215 said * h559 h8799 unto his father * h1, Hast thou but one * h259 blessing * h1293, my father * h1? bless * h1288 h8761 me, even me also, O my father * h1. And Esau * h6215 lifted up * h5375 h8799 his voice * h6963, and wept * h1058 h8799.
39 And Isaac * h3327 his father * h1 answered * h6030 h8799 and said * h559 h8799 unto him, Behold, thy dwelling * h4186 shall be the fatness * h4924 of the earth * h776, and of the dew * h2919 of heaven * h8064 from above * h5920; the fatness: or, of the fatness
40 And by thy sword * h2719 shalt thou live * h2421 h8799, and shalt serve * h5647 h8799 thy brother * h251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion * h7300 h8686, that thou shalt break * h6561 h8804 his yoke * h5923 from off thy neck * h6677.
41 And Esau * h6215 hated * h7852 h8799 Jacob * h3290 because * h5921 of the blessing * h1293 wherewith * h834 his father * h1 blessed him * h1288 h8765: and Esau * h6215 said * h559 h8799 in his heart * h3820, The days * h3117 of mourning * h60 for my father * h1 are at hand * h7126 h8799; then will I slay * h2026 h8799 my brother * h251 Jacob * h3290.
42 And these words * h1697 of Esau * h6215 her elder * h1419 son * h1121 were told * h5046 h8714 to Rebekah * h7259: and she sent * h7971 h8799 and called * h7121 h8799 Jacob * h3290 her younger * h6996 son * h1121, and said * h559 h8799 unto him, Behold, thy brother * h251 Esau * h6215, as touching thee, doth comfort * h5162 h8693 himself, purposing to kill * h2026 h8800 thee.
43 Now therefore, my son * h1121, obey * h8085 h8798 my voice * h6963; and arise * h6965 h8798, flee * h1272 h8798 thou to Laban * h3837 my brother * h251 to Haran * h2771;
44 And tarry * h3427 h8804 with him a few * h259 days * h3117, until * h834 thy brother's * h251 fury * h2534 turn away * h7725 h8799;
45 Until thy brother's * h251 anger * h639 turn away * h7725 h8800 from thee, and he forget * h7911 h8804 that which thou hast done * h6213 h8804 to him: then I will send * h7971 h8804, and fetch * h3947 h8804 thee from thence: why * h4100 should I be deprived * h7921 h8799 also of you both * h8147 in one * h259 day * h3117?
46 And Rebekah * h7259 said * h559 h8799 to Isaac * h3327, I am weary * h6973 h8804 of my life * h2416 because * h6440 of the daughters * h1323 of Heth * h2845: if Jacob * h3290 take * h3947 h8802 a wife * h802 of the daughters * h1323 of Heth * h2845, such as these which are of the daughters * h1323 of the land * h776, what good * h4100 shall my life * h2416 do me?
