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. '
When
Isaac was
old
and his eyes were
so
weak
that
he
could
no
longer
see
, he called
his older
son Esau
and said
to
him, “
My son .”
“
Here I am,”
Esau
replied
.
And
he
saith,
`Lo
, I
pray
thee
, I have
become
aged
, I have
not known
the day of my death ;
“Look
, ”
said
Isaac
, “
I am
now
old
, and
I do
not know
the day of my death .
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,
Take your
weapons—your
quiver and bow —
and go out into
the field to
hunt some
game
for me .
and
make
for
me
tasteful
things,
`such'
as
I have
loved,
and bring in
to me ,
and
I
do
eat, so that my
soul
doth
bless thee
before I die. '
Then
prepare
a
tasty
dish
that
I love
and bring it
to me to
eat, so that I
may
bless you
before I die. ”
And
Rebekah is
hearkening
while
Isaac is
speaking
unto
Esau
his son ;
and
Esau goeth
to
the field to hunt provision
--
to
bring in;
Now
Rebekah was
listening
to
what
Isaac told
his son Esau .
So
when
Esau
went
into
the field to hunt game
and
bring it
back,
and
Rebekah hath
spoken
unto
Jacob
her son ,
saying
, `Lo
, I have
heard
thy
father speaking
unto
Esau
thy
brother,
saying,
Rebekah said
to
her son Jacob
, “Behold
, I overheard
your
father saying to
your
brother
Esau
,
Bring for
me provision,
and make
for
me tasteful
things,
and
I
do
eat, and
bless thee
before
Jehovah
before my
death
.
‘
Bring me some
game
and prepare
me a
tasty
dish
to
eat, so
that
I
may
bless you
in
the
presence
of
the
LORD
before I
die
. ’
`And
now, my son, hearken
to my voice ,
to
that
which
I am
commanding
thee:
Now, my son, listen
to my voice and
do
exactly
as
I tell
you.
Go ,
I
pray
thee,
unto
the flock ,
and take
for
me from
thence
two good
kids
of
the
goats, and
I make them tasteful
things
for thy
father ,
`such'
as
he hath
loved;
Go out
to
the flock and bring
me two choice
young
goats, so
that
I can
make them into
a
tasty
dish
for your
father —the
kind
he loves.
and
thou
hast
taken
in
to thy
father ,
and
he
hath
eaten
, so that his
soul
doth
bless thee
before his
death
.
Then
take
it
to your
father to
eat
, so that he
may
bless you
before he
dies
. ”
And
Jacob saith
unto
Rebekah
his mother, `Lo
, Esau
my brother `
is '
a hairy man, and
I a
smooth man,
Jacob answered
his mother Rebekah
, “Look
, my brother Esau
is a hairy man, but
I am
smooth -skinned.
it
may
be
my father doth
feel
me ,
and
I have
been
in
his
eyes
as a deceiver, and have
brought
upon me
disesteem,
and
not
a blessing ;'
What
if
my father touches
me ?
Then
I would
be
revealed
to
him
as a deceiver, and I
would
bring
upon myself
a curse
rather
than
a
blessing .”
and
his mother saith
to
him
, `
On me thy
disesteem
, my son ;
only
hearken
to
my voice ,
and go ,
take
for me. '
His mother replied
, “Your
curse
be
on me, my son .
Just
obey
my voice and go get
them
for me. ”
And
he
goeth,
and taketh,
and bringeth
to his mother, and
his
mother
maketh
tasteful
things,
`such'
as
his father hath
loved ;
So
Jacob
went
and got
two
goats
and brought
them
to his mother, who
made
the
tasty
food
his father loved .
and Rebekah taketh
the desirable
garments
of
Esau
her
elder
son,
which
`are'
with
her
in the house, and doth
put on Jacob
her younger son ;
And Rebekah took
the finest
clothes
in the house that
belonged
to
her
older
son
Esau
, and she
put them
on her younger son Jacob.
and
the skins of the kids
of
the
goats she
hath
put
on his hands ,
and on the smooth of his neck ,
She
also
put
the skins of the young
goats on his hands and on the smooth part
of his neck .
and
she giveth
the tasteful
things,
and the
bread which
she hath
made ,
into
the
hand
of
Jacob
her
son
.
Then
she handed
her
son
Jacob
the tasty
food
and bread she had
made.
And
he
cometh
in
unto
his father ,
and saith
, `
My father ;'
and
he
saith,
`
Here `am'
I ;
who
`art'
thou
, my son? '
So
Jacob
went
to
his father and said
, “
My father .”
“
Here I am!”
he
answered.
“Which
one
are
you
, my son? ”
And
Jacob saith
unto
his father, `
I `
am '
Esau thy
first-born;
I have done as thou
hast
spoken
unto
me ;
rise,
I
pray
thee,
sit ,
and eat of my provision
, so that thy
soul
doth
bless me. '
Jacob said
to
his father, “
I am Esau ,
your
firstborn.
I have done as you
told
me .
Please
sit up
and eat some
of my game
, so that you
may
bless me. ”
And
Isaac saith
unto
his son, `What
`is'
this
thou
hast
hasted
to
find, my son? '
and
he
saith,
`That
which
Jehovah
thy
God hath
caused
to come
before
me. '
But
Isaac asked
his son, “How
did
you
ever
find it
so
quickly
, my son? ”
“Because
the
LORD
your
God brought
it
to me ,”
he
replied
.
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 .'
Then
Isaac said
to
Jacob, “Please
come closer
so
I can
touch
you
, my son .
Are
you
really
my son Esau, or not ?”
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. '
So
Jacob came
close
to
his father Isaac
, who
touched
him and said
, “
The voice is the voice of Jacob, but
the hands are
the
hands of Esau. ”
And
he
hath
not discerned
him, for
his hands have
been
hairy ,
as
the
hands
of Esau
his brother ,
and
he blesseth
him ,
Isaac
did
not recognize
him, because
his hands were
hairy like
those
of his brother Esau;
so
he blessed
him .
and
saith,
`Thou
art
he --
my son Esau? '
and he saith
, `
I `
am '
. '
Again
he asked,
“Are
you
really
my son Esau? ”
And he replied
, “
I am. ”
And
he
saith,
`Bring
nigh
to
me, and I
do
eat of my son's
provision
, so that my
soul
doth
bless thee;'
and
he
bringeth
nigh
to him, and he eateth
; and
he bringeth
to
him wine, and he drinketh
.
“Serve
me, ”
said
Isaac,
“
and let
me
eat some
of my son’s
game
, so that I
may
bless you.”
Jacob
brought
it
to him, and he ate
; then
he brought
him wine, and he drank
.
And
Isaac
his father saith
to him, `
Come nigh,
I
pray
thee,
and kiss me, my son ;'
Then
his father Isaac
said
to him, “Please
come near
and kiss me, my son .”
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 ;
So
he came
near
and kissed
him .
When
Isaac
smelled
his clothing
, he
blessed
him and said:
“Ah
, the smell
of my son is like
the smell
of a field that
the
LORD
has
blessed .
and
God doth
give to thee
of
the dew of heaven ,
and of
the fatness
of the earth ,
and
abundance of corn
and wine ;
May
God give to you
the dew of heaven and the richness
of the earth —
an
abundance of grain
and new
wine .
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. '
May
peoples serve you
and nations bow down
to you.
May
you
be the
master
of
your
brothers
, and may
the sons of your
mother bow down
to you.
May
those who curse you
be
cursed, and those who bless you
be
blessed. ”
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;
As soon
as
Isaac had
finished blessing him
and Jacob had
left
his father’s
presence
, his brother Esau
returned
from the
hunt.
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. '
He too
made
some
tasty
food
, brought
it
to his father, and said
to him
, “
My father, sit
up
and eat of your
son’s
game
, so that you
may
bless me. ”
And
Isaac
his father saith
to
him
, `
Who `art'
thou
? '
and
he
saith,
`
I `
am '
thy
son
, thy
first-born
, Esau;'
But
his father Isaac
replied
, “
Who are
you
? ”
“
I am Esau
, your
firstborn
son
, ”
he
answered.
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 .'
Isaac began
to
tremble
violently
and said
, “
Who was
it
, then
, who hunted
the
game
and brought
it
to me ?
Before you
came
in, I ate
it
all
and
blessed
him —and
indeed
, he will
be
blessed!”
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 ;'
When Esau heard
his father’s
words
, he let
out
a loud
and bitter cry and said
to his father, “
Bless me too
, O my father !”
and
he
saith
, `Thy
brother hath
come
with
subtilty,
and taketh
thy
blessing. '
But
Isaac
replied
, “Your
brother came
deceitfully
and took
your
blessing. ”
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? '
So
Esau
declared
, “
Is he
not
rightly
named
Jacob ?
For
he has
cheated
me twice.
He
took
my birthright, and
now he has
taken my blessing .”
Then
he asked
, “Haven’t
you
saved
a blessing for me? ”
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? '
But
Isaac answered
Esau :
“Look
, I have
made
him your
master
and given him all
his
relatives
as
servants ;
I have
sustained him with
grain
and new
wine.
What is
left
that
I can
do for
you
, my son? ”
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
.
Esau said
to
his father, “Do
you
have
only
one blessing ,
my father? Bless me too
, O my father !”
Then
Esau wept
aloud
.
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 ;
His father Isaac
answered
him :
“Behold
, your
dwelling
place
shall
be
away
from
the richness
of the land
, away
from
the dew of heaven
above .
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. '
You
shall
live
by the
sword and serve your
brother.
But
when you
rebel
, you
will
tear
his yoke from your
neck. ”
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. '
Esau held
a
grudge
against
Jacob because of the blessing his father had
given
him .
And Esau said
in his heart, “
The days of mourning for my father are
at
hand;
then
I will
kill
my brother Jacob
. ”
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;
When
the words of her older
son Esau
were
relayed
to Rebekah, she sent
for her younger son Jacob
and told
him, “Look
, your
brother Esau
is consoling
himself by
plotting
to kill
you.
and
now, my son, hearken
to
my voice ,
and rise,
flee for
thyself
unto
Laban
my brother ,
to
Haran ,
So
now, my son, obey
my voice and flee at
once
to
my brother Laban
in
Haran .
and
thou
hast
dwelt
with him some
days
, till
thy
brother's
fury turn
back,
Stay
with him for
a
while
, until
your
brother’s
fury subsides—
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? '
until
your
brother’s
rage
against
you
wanes
and he forgets
what
you
have
done to him .
Then
I will
send
for
you
and bring
you
back
from there.
Why should
I lose
both
of you in
one
day? ”
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
? '
Then
Rebekah said
to
Isaac, “
I am
weary
of
my life because of these
Hittite
women.
If Jacob takes
a Hittite
wife from among
them,
what
good
is
my
life
? ”
