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.
When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 And he said here! please I am old not I know [the] day of death my.
He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know 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 therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, 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.
Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you 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].
Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 And Rebekah she said to Jacob son her saying here! I have heard father your speaking to Esau brother your saying.
Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your 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 make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
8 And therefore O son my listen to voice my to [that] which I [am] commanding you.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
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.
Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.
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.
You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11 And he said Jacob to Rebekah mother his here! Esau brother my [is] a man hairy and I [am] a man smooth.
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am 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.
What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, 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.
His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for 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.
He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
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.
Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them 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.
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17 And she put the savory food and the bread which she had prepared in [the] hand of Jacob son her.
She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
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.
He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my 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.
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your 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.
Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because the LORD your God gave me success.”
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.
Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really 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.
Jacob went near to Isaac his father. 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.
He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
24 And he said [are] you? this son my Esau and he said I.
He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” 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.
He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. 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.
His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my 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.
He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a 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.
God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new 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.
Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
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.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, 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.
He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your 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.
Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, 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.
Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will 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.
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
35 And he said he came brother your with deceit and he took blessing your.
He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your 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.
He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”
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.
Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my 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.
Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, 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.
Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky 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.
You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your 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.
Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill 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.
The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 And therefore O son my listen to voice my and arise flee for yourself to Laban brother my Haran towards.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 And you will remain with him days one until that it will turn back [the] anger of brother your.
Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
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.
until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I 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.
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
