< Genesis 27 >
1 And it was for he was old Isaac and they were [too] dim eyes his for seeing and he summoned Esau - son his old and he said to him O son my and he said to him here [am] I.
And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I [am here].
2 And he said here! please I am old not I know [the] day of death my.
And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.
3 And therefore take up please weapons your quiver your and bow your and go out the field and hunt! for me (wild game. *Q(K)*)
Now then take the weapons, both thy quiver and thy bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,
4 And prepare for me savory food just as I love and bring [it]! to me so let me eat [it] in order that it may bless you self my before I will die.
and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee, before I die.
5 And Rebekah [was] listening when spoke Isaac to Esau son his and he went Esau [to] the field to hunt wild game to bring [it].
And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
6 And Rebekah she said to Jacob son her saying here! I have heard father your speaking to Esau brother your saying.
And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,
7 Bring! to me wild game and prepare for me savory food so let me eat [it] so I may bless you before Yahweh before death my.
Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die.
8 And therefore O son my listen to voice my to [that] which I [am] commanding you.
Now then, my son, hearken to me, as I command thee.
9 Go please to the flock and fetch for me from there two kids of goats good so I may prepare them savory food for father your just as he loves.
And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for thy father, as he likes.
10 And you will bring [it] to father your and he will eat [it] in order that this he may bless you before death his.
And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.
11 And he said Jacob to Rebekah mother his here! Esau brother my [is] a man hairy and I [am] a man smooth.
And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.
12 Perhaps he will feel me father my and I will be in view his like a mocker and I will bring on myself a curse and not a blessing.
Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.
13 And she said to him mother his [be] on me curse your O son my only listen to voice my and go fetch [them] for me.
And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
14 And he went and he fetched [them] and he brought [them] to mother his and she prepared mother his savory food just as he loved father his.
So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked [them].
15 And she took Rebekah [the] clothes of Esau son her old the desirableness which [were] with her in the house and she clothed Jacob son her young.
And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.
16 And [the] skins of [the] kids of the goats she clothed on hands his and on [the] smooth part of neck his.
And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
17 And she put the savory food and the bread which she had prepared in [the] hand of Jacob son her.
And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
18 And he went to father his and he said O father my and he said here [am] I who? [are] you O son my.
And he brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who art thou, son?
19 And he said Jacob to father his I [am] Esau firstborn your I have done just as you said to me arise please sit! and eat! some of wild game my in order that may bless me self your.
And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau thy first-born, have done as thou toldest me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20 And he said Isaac to son his what? this have you hastened to find [it] O son my and he said for he made happen Yahweh God your before me.
And Isaac said to his son, What is this which thou hast quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord thy God presented before me.
21 And he said Isaac to Jacob draw near! please so I may feel you O son my ¿ [are] you this son my Esau or? not.
And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel thee, son, if thou art my son Esau or not.
22 And he drew near Jacob to Isaac father his and he felt him and he said the voice [is] [the] voice of Jacob and the hands [are] [the] hands of Esau.
And Jacob drew nigh to his father Isaac, and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
23 And not he recognized him for they were hands his like [the] hands of Esau brother his hairy and he blessed him.
And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,
24 And he said [are] you? this son my Esau and he said I.
and he said, Art thou my son Esau? and he said, I [am].
25 And he said bring [it] near! to me so let me eat some of [the] wild game of son my so that it may bless you self my and he brought [it] near to him and he ate and he brought to him wine and he drank.
And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of thy venison, son, that my soul may bless thee; and he brought [it] near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 And he said to him Isaac father his draw near! please and kiss! me O son my.
And Isaac his father said to him, Draw nigh to me, and kiss me, son.
27 And he drew near and he kissed him and he smelled [the] smell of clothes his and he blessed him and he said see [the] smell of son my [is] like [the] smell of a field which he has blessed it Yahweh.
And he drew nigh and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field, which the Lord has blessed.
28 And may he give to you God some of [the] dew of the heavens and some of [the] fatness of the earth and abundance of grain and new wine.
And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.
29 May they serve you peoples (and may they bow down *Q(K)*) to you peoples be lord to brothers your so may they bow down to you [the] sons of mother your [those who] curse you [be] cursed and [those who] bless you [be] blessed.
And let nations serve thee, and princes bow down to thee, and be thou lord of thy brother, and the sons of thy father shall do thee reverence; accursed is he that curses thee, and blessed is he that blesses thee.
30 And it was just as he had finished Isaac to bless Jacob and it was surely certainly he had gone out Jacob from with [the] face of Isaac father his and Esau brother his he came from hunting his.
And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 And he prepared also he savory food and he brought [it] to father his and he said to father his let him arise father my and let him eat some of [the] wild game of son his in order that may bless me self your.
And he also had made meats and brought them to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32 And he said to him Isaac father his who? [are] you and he said I [am] son your firstborn your Esau.
And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy first-born son Esau.
33 And he trembled Isaac trembling great up to muchness and he said who? then [is] he who hunted wild game and he brought [it] to me and I ate some of everything before you came and I blessed him also blessed he will be.
And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
34 When heard Esau [the] words of father his and he cried a cry great and bitter up to muchness and he said to father his bless me also me O father my.
And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray thee, me also, father.
35 And he said he came brother your with deceit and he took blessing your.
And he said to him, Thy brother has come with subtlety, and taken thy blessing.
36 And he said ¿ for did someone call name his Jacob and he has supplanted me this two times birthright my he took and here! now he has taken blessing my and he said ¿ not have you reserved for me a blessing.
And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for lo! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast thou not left a blessing for me, father?
37 And he answered Isaac and he said to Esau here! lord I have appointed him to you and all brothers his I have given to him to servants and grain and new wine I have sustained him and for you then what? will I do O son my.
And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for thee, son?
38 And he said Esau to father his ¿ [does] a blessing one it [belong] to you O father my bless me also me O father my and he lifted up Esau voice his and he wept.
And Esau said to his father, Hast thou [only] one blessing, father? Bless, I pray thee, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.
39 And he answered Isaac father his and he said to him there! away from [the] fatness of the earth it will be dwelling your and away from [the] dew of the heavens above.
And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.
40 And on sword your you will live and brother your you will serve and it will be just as you will be restless and you will tear off yoke his from on neck your.
And thou shalt live by thy sword, and shalt serve thy brother; and there shall be [a time] when thou shalt break and loosen his yoke from off thy neck.
41 And he bore a grudge against Esau Jacob on the blessing which he had blessed him father his and he said Esau in heart his they will draw near [the] days of [the] mourning of father my and I will kill Jacob brother my.
And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw nigh, that I may slay my brother Jacob.
42 And it was told to Rebekah [the] words of Esau son her old and she sent and she summoned Jacob son her young and she said to him here! Esau brother your [is] comforting himself to you by killing you.
And the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebecca, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau thy brother threatens thee to kill thee.
43 And therefore O son my listen to voice my and arise flee for yourself to Laban brother my Haran towards.
Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.
44 And you will remain with him days one until that it will turn back [the] anger of brother your.
And dwell with him certain days, until thy brother's anger
45 Until turns back [the] anger of brother your from you and he will forget [that] which you did to him and I will send and I will fetch you from there why? will I be bereaved also both of you a day one.
and rage depart from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; and I will send and fetch thee thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved of you both in one day.
46 And she said Rebekah to Isaac I loathe life my because of [the] daughters of Heth if [is] taking Jacob a wife from [the] daughters of Heth like these from [the] daughters of the land why? [belongs] to me life.
And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of the sons of Chet; if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of this land, wherefore should I live?
