Genesis 27
1. And it came to pass * , that when Isaac was old * , and his eyes were dim * , so that he could not see * , he called * Esau his eldest son, and said * unto him, My son: and he said * unto him, Behold, here am I.
2. And he said * , Behold now, I am old * , I know * not the day of my death:
3. Now therefore take * , I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out * to the field, and take * me some venison * ;
4. And make * me savoury meat, such as I love * , and bring * it to me, that I may eat * ; that my soul may bless * thee before I die * .
5. And Rebekah heard * when Isaac spake * to Esau his son. And Esau went * to the field to hunt * for venison, and to bring * it.
6. And Rebekah spake * unto Jacob her son, saying * , Behold, I heard * thy father speak * unto Esau thy brother, saying * ,
7. Bring * me venison, and make * me savoury meat, that I may eat * , and bless * thee before the LORD before my death.
8. Now therefore, my son, obey * my voice according to that which I command * thee.
9. Go * now to the flock, and fetch * me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make * them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth * :
10. And thou shalt bring * it to thy father,that he may eat * , and that he may bless * thee before his death.
11. And Jacob said * to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12. My father peradventure will feel * me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver * ; and I shall bring * a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13. And his mother said * unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey * my voice, and go * fetch * me them.
14. And he went * , and fetched * , and brought * them to his mother: and his mother made * savoury meat, such as his father loved * .
15. And Rebekah took * goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau,which were with her in the house, and put them upon * Jacob her younger son:
16. And she put * the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17. And she gave * the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared * , into the hand of her son Jacob.
18. And he came * unto his father, and said * , My father: and he said * , Here am I; who art thou, my son?
19. And Jacob said * unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done * according as thou badest * me: arise * , I pray thee, sit * and eat * of my venison, that thy soul may bless * me.
20. And Isaac said * unto his son,How is it that thou hast found * it so quickly * , my son? And he said * , Because the LORD thy God brought * it to me.
21. And Isaac said * unto Jacob,Come near * , I pray thee, that I may feel * thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
22. And Jacob went near * unto Isaac his father; and he felt * him, and said * , The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23. And he discerned * him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed * him.
24. And he said * , Art thou my very son Esau? And he said * , I am.
25. And he said * , Bring it near * to me, and I will eat * of my son's venison, that my soul may bless * thee. And he brought it near * to him, and he did eat * : and he brought * him wine, and he drank * .
26. And his father Isaac said * unto him, Come near * now, and kiss * me, my son.
27. And he came near * , and kissed * him: and he smelled * the smell of his raiment, and blessed * him, and said * , See * , the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed * :
28. Therefore God give * thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29. Let people serve * thee, and nations bow down * to thee: be * lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down * to thee: cursed * be every one that curseth * thee, and blessed * be he that blesseth * thee.
30. And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end * of blessing * Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce * gone out * from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in * from his hunting.
31. And he also had made * savoury meat,and brought it * unto his father, and said * unto his father, Let my father arise * , and eat * of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless * me.
32. And Isaac his father said * unto him, Who art thou? And he said * , I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
33. And Isaac trembled * very exceedingly, and said * , Who? where is he that hath taken * venison,and brought * it me, and I have eaten * of all before thou camest * , and have blessed * him? yea, and he shall be blessed * .
34. And when Esau heard * the words of his father, he cried * with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said * unto his father, Bless * me, even me also, O my father.
35. And he said * , Thy brother came * with subtilty, and hath taken away * thy blessing.
36. And he said * , Is not he rightly named * Jacob? for he hath supplanted me * these two times: he took away * my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away * my blessing. And he said * , Hast thou not reserved * a blessing for me?
37. And Isaac answered * and said * unto Esau, Behold, I have made * him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given * to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained * him: and what shall I do * now unto thee, my son?
38. And Esau said * unto his father,Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless * me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up * his voice, and wept * .
39. And Isaac his father answered * and said * unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
40. And by thy sword shalt thou live * , and shalt serve * thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion * , that thou shalt break * his yoke from off thy neck.
41. And Esau hated * Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him * : and Esau said * in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand * ; then will I slay * my brother Jacob.
42. And these words of Esau her elder son were told * to Rebekah: and she sent * and called * Jacob her younger son, and said * unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort * himself, purposing to kill * thee.
43. Now therefore, my son, obey * my voice; and arise * , flee * thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
44. And tarry * with him a few days,until thy brother's fury turn away * ;
45. Until thy brother's anger turn away * from thee, and he forget * that which thou hast done * to him: then I will send * , and fetch * thee from thence: why should I be deprived * also of you both in one day?
46. And Rebekah said * to Isaac, I am weary * of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take * a wife of the daughters of Heth,such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
