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.
And it cometh
to pass that Isaac `is'
aged
, and his eyes are
too
dim for
seeing
, and
he calleth
Esau his elder
son, and saith
unto him, `
My son ;'
and he saith
unto him, `
Here `
am '
I. '
And he said
, Behold
now
, I am
old
, I know
not the day of my death :
And he saith
, `Lo
, I pray
thee
, I have
become
aged,
I
have
not known
the day of my death ;
Now therefore
take, I pray thee, thy weapons
, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take
me some
venison;
and
now ,
take up
, I pray thee, thy instruments
, thy quiver ,
and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt
for
me provision,
And make me savory
meat
, such as I love
, and bring it
to me, that
I may
eat ;

bless thee before I die.

me tasteful
things

loved

And Isaac said
unto his son, How
is it
that
thou hast found
it
so
quickly
, my son? And he said
, Because
the

thy God brought

to me.
And Isaac saith
unto his son, `What

which
Jehovah

caused
to come

my very
son Esau or not.
And Isaac saith
unto Jacob, `
Come nigh
, I pray thee, and
I feel thee, my son, whether thou `art'
he,
my son Esau ,
or not. '
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.
And Jacob cometh
nigh
unto Isaac his father ,
and he feeleth
him, and saith
, `
The voice `
is '
the
voice of
Jacob
, and
the hands hands of Esau. '
And he discerned him not
, because
his hands were
hairy, as his brother Esau's
hands:
so
he blessed
him .
And he hath
not
discerned him, for
his hands have
been
hairy, as the
hands
of
Esau
his brother ,
and
he blesseth
him ,
And he
said
, Art
thou my very
son Esau? And he said
, I am.

, `
Thou art
he
--
my son Esau? '
and he saith
, `
I `
am '
. '
And he said
, Bring it
near
to me, and I will
eat of my son's venison

and he brought
him wine and he drank
.
And he saith
, `
Bring nigh
to me, and I do
eat of my son's provision
, so
that my soul doth
bless thee ;'

nigh
to him, and he eateth;
and he bringeth
to
him wine ,
and he drinketh
.
And his father Isaac
said
unto
him, Come near
now
, and kiss me, my son .
And Isaac
his father saith
to
him, `
Come nigh
, I
pray
thee,
and kiss me, my son ;'
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 :
and he cometh
nigh
, and kisseth
him ,
and he smelleth
the fragrance
of his garments
, and blesseth
him, and saith
, `
See, the fragrance
of my son `
is '
as the fragrance
of a field which Jehovah
hath blessed ;
Therefore
God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty
of corn and wine :
and
God doth
give to
thee of the dew of heaven, and of
the fatness of the earth, and abundance
of corn and wine ;
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.
peoples
serve thee, and nations bow themselves
to thee ,
be thou
mighty
over thy brethren, and the
sons of
thy
mother
bow themselves
to thee ;
those
who
curse
thee `are'
cursed
, and those
who
bless
thee `are'
blessed
. '
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 .
And it cometh
to pass, as Isaac hath
finished
blessing Jacob, and Jacob is
only
just
going
out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath
come
in from his hunting ;
And he also had
made
savory
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.
and he also maketh
tasteful
things
, and bringeth
to
his father, and saith
to
his father, `
Let my father arise, and eat of his son's provision
, so
that thy soul doth
bless me. '
And Isaac his father said
unto
him, Who art thou? And he said
, I am thy son, thy firstborn
Esau .
And Isaac his father saith
to
him, `
Who `
art '
thou? '
and he saith
, `
I `
am '
thy son, thy first-born,
Esau ;'
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.
and Isaac trembleth
a
very great
trembling
, and saith
, `
Who ,
now,
`
is '
he who
hath provided
provision
, and bringeth
in
to
me, and I eat
of all before thou comest
in
, and I
bless
him? --
yea, blessed is
he
. '
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 .
When Esau heareth
the words of his father, then
he crieth
a very
great and bitter cry, and saith
to
his father, `
Bless me, me also, O my father ;'
And he said
, Thy brother came
with subtilty, and hath
taken
away
thy blessing.
and he saith
, `
Thy brother hath
come
with subtilty, and taketh
thy blessing. '
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?
And he saith
, `
Is it
because
`one'
called
his
name
Jacob that
he doth
take
me by
the
heel
these two times ?
my birthright he
hath
taken
; and lo
, now ,
he hath taken my blessing ;'
he saith
also
, `
Hast thou not kept
back
a blessing for me? '
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?
And Isaac answereth
and saith
to
Esau, `Lo
, a
mighty
one
have I
set
him over
thee
, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants ,
and `
with '
corn and wine have I sustained him ;
and for
thee
now,
what shall I do, my son? '
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
.
And Esau saith
unto his father, `
One blessing hast
thou
my father? bless me, me also, O my father ;'
and Esau lifteth
up his voice, and weepeth
.
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;
And Isaac his father answereth
and saith
unto him, `Lo
, of
the fatness of the earth is
thy
dwelling
, and of the dew of the
heavens
from above;
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.
and by thy sword dost
thou live, and thy brother dost
thou
serve
; and it hath
come to pass when thou rulest
, that thou hast
broken
his yoke from off thy neck. '
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
.
And Esau hateth
Jacob ,
because of the blessing with
which
his father blessed him ,
and Esau saith
in his heart, `
The days of mourning `
for '
my father draw
near,
and
I slay Jacob
my brother. '
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 .
And the
words of Esau her elder son are
declared
to Rebekah ,
and she sendeth
and calleth
for
Jacob her younger son, and saith
unto him, `Lo
, Esau
thy brother is
comforting
himself in
regard
to thee --
to
slay
thee;
Now therefore
, my son, obey
my voice ;
arise
, flee thou
to
Laban my brother to Haran ;
and
now, my son, hearken
to
my voice, and
rise,
flee for
thyself
unto
Laban my brother ,
to Haran ,
And tarry
with him a
few
days, until
thy brother's fury turn away;
and thou
hast
dwelt
with him some
days, till
thy brother's fury turn back,
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?
till
thy brother's anger turn back
from thee, and he hath
forgotten
that which thou hast done to him, and I
have
sent
and
taken
thee from thence ;
why am
I bereaved
even
of you both the
same
day? '
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
?
And Rebekah saith
unto
Isaac, `
I have
been
disgusted
with
my life because of the presence
of
the
daughters of Heth ;
if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like
these --
from
the daughters of the land --
why
do I
live
? '
