And it came to pass,{H1961} that when Isaac{H3327} was old,{H2204} and his eyes{H5869} were dim,{H3543} so that he could not see,{H7200} he called{H7121} Esau{H6215} his elder{H1419} son,{H1121} and said{H559} unto him, My son:{H1121} and he said{H559} unto him, Here am I.

And he said,{H559} Behold now, I am old,{H2204} I know{H3045} not the day{H3117} of my death.{H4194}

Now therefore take,{H5375} I pray thee, thy weapons,{H3627} thy quiver{H8522} and thy bow,{H7198} and go out{H3318} to the field,{H7704} and take{H6679} me venison;{H6718}

and make{H6213} me savory food,{H4303} such as{H834} I love,{H157} and bring{H935} it to me, that I may eat;{H398} that my soul{H5315} may bless{H1288} thee before{H2962} I die.{H4191}

And Rebekah{H7259} heard{H8085} when Isaac{H3327} spake{H1696} to Esau{H6215} his son.{H1121} And Esau{H6215} went{H3212} to the field{H7704} to hunt{H6679} for venison,{H6718} and to bring{H935} it.

And Rebekah{H7259} spake{H559} unto Jacob{H3290} her son,{H1121} saying,{H559} Behold, I heard{H8085} thy father{H1} speak{H1696} unto Esau{H6215} thy brother,{H251} saying,{H559}

Bring{H935} me venison,{H6718} and make{H6213} me savory food,{H4303} that I may eat,{H398} and bless{H1288} thee before{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} before{H6440} my death.{H4194}

Now therefore, my son,{H1121} obey{H8085} my voice{H6963} according to that which{H834} I command{H6680} thee.

Go{H3212} now to the flock,{H6629} and fetch{H3947} me from thence two{H8147} good{H2896} kids{H1423} of the goats;{H5795} and I will make{H6213} them savory food{H4303} for thy father,{H1} such as he loveth:{H157}

and thou shalt bring{H935} it to thy father,{H1} that he may eat,{H398} so that{H834} he may bless{H1288} thee before{H6440} his death.{H4194}

And Jacob{H3290} said{H559} to Rebekah{H7259} his mother,{H517} Behold, Esau{H6215} my brother{H251} is a hairy{H8163} man,{H376} and I am a smooth{H2509} man.{H376}

My father{H1} peradventure will feel{H4959} me, and I shall seem{H5869} to him as a deceiver;{H8591} and I shall bring{H935} a curse{H7045} upon me, and not a blessing.{H1293}

And his mother{H517} said{H559} unto him, Upon me be thy curse,{H7045} my son;{H1121} only obey{H8085} my voice,{H6963} and go{H3212} fetch{H3947} me them.

And he went,{H3212} and fetched,{H3947} and brought{H935} them to his mother:{H517} and his mother{H517} made{H6213} savory food,{H4303} such as his father{H1} loved.{H157}

And Rebekah{H7259} took{H3947} the goodly{H2532} garments{H899} of Esau{H6215} her elder{H1419} son,{H1121} which were with her in the house,{H1004} and put them upon{H3847} Jacob{H3290} her younger{H6996} son;{H1121}

and she put{H3847} the skins{H5785} of the kids{H1423} of the goats{H5795} upon his hands,{H3027} and upon the smooth{H2513} of his neck:{H6677}

and she gave{H5414} the savory food{H4303} and the bread,{H3899} which she had prepared,{H6213} into the hand{H3027} of her son{H1121} Jacob.{H3290}

And he came{H935} unto his father,{H1} and said,{H559} My father:{H1} and he said,{H559} Here am I; who art thou, my son?{H1121}

And Jacob{H3290} said{H559} unto his father,{H1} I am Esau{H6215} thy first-born;{H1060} I have done{H6213} according as thou badest{H1696} me: arise,{H6965} I pray thee, sit{H3427} and eat{H398} of my venison,{H6718} that thy soul{H5315} may bless{H1288} me.

And Isaac{H3327} said{H559} unto his son,{H1121} How is it that thou hast found{H4672} it so quickly,{H4116} my son?{H1121} And he said,{H559} Because Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} sent{H7136} me{H6440} good speed.

And Isaac{H3327} said{H559} unto Jacob,{H3290} Come near,{H5066} I pray thee, that I may feel{H4184} thee, my son,{H1121} whether thou be my very{H2088} son{H1121} Esau{H6215} or not.

And Jacob{H3290} went near{H5066} unto Isaac{H3327} his father;{H1} and he felt{H4959} him, and said,{H559} The voice{H6963} is Jacob's{H3290} voice,{H6963} but the hands{H3027} are the hands{H3027} of Esau.{H6215}

And he discerned{H5234} him not, because his hands{H3027} were hairy,{H8163} as his brother{H251} Esau's{H6215} hands:{H3027} so he blessed{H1288} him.

And he said,{H559} Art thou my very son{H1121} Esau?{H6215} And he said,{H559} I am.

And he said,{H559} Bring it near{H5066} to me, and I will eat{H398} of my son's{H1121} venison,{H6718} that my soul{H5315} may bless{H1288} thee. And he brought it near{H5066} to him, and he did eat:{H398} and he brought{H935} him wine,{H3196} and he drank.{H8354}

And his father{H1} Isaac{H3327} said{H559} unto him, Come near{H5066} now, and kiss{H5401} me, my son.{H1121}

And he came near,{H5066} and kissed{H5401} him: and he smelled{H7306} the smell{H7381} of his raiment,{H899} and blessed{H1288} him, and said,{H559} See,{H7200} the smell{H7381} of my son{H1121} Is as the smell{H7381} of a field{H7704} which Jehovah{H3068} hath blessed:{H1288}

And God{H430} give{H5414} thee of the dew{H2919} of heaven,{H8064} And of the fatness{H4924} of the earth,{H776} And plenty{H7230} of grain{H1715} and new wine:{H8492}

Let peoples{H5971} serve{H5647} thee, And nations{H3816} bow down{H7812} to thee: Be{H1933} lord{H1376} over thy brethren,{H251} And let thy mother's{H517} sons{H1121} bow down{H7812} to thee: Cursed{H779} be every one that curseth{H779} thee, And blessed{H1288} be every one that blesseth{H1288} thee.

And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac{H3327} had made an end{H3615} of blessing{H1288} Jacob,{H3290} and Jacob{H3290} was yet{H389} scarce{H3318} gone out{H3318} from the presence{H6440} of Isaac{H3327} his father,{H1} that Esau{H6215} his brother{H251} came in{H935} from his hunting.{H6718}

And he also made{H6213} savory food,{H4303} and brought it{H935} unto his father;{H1} and he said{H559} unto his father,{H1} Let my father{H1} arise,{H6965} and eat{H398} of his son's{H1121} venison,{H6718} that thy soul{H5315} may bless{H1288} me.

And Isaac{H3327} his father{H1} said{H559} unto him, Who art thou? And he said,{H559} I am thy son,{H1121} thy first-born,{H1060} Esau.{H6215}

And Isaac{H3327} trembled{H2729} very{H1419} exceedingly,{H3966} and said,{H559} Who then{H645} is he that hath taken{H6679} venison,{H6718} and brought{H935} it me, and I have eaten{H398} of all before thou camest,{H935} and have blessed{H1288} him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed.{H1288}

When Esau{H6215} heard{H8085} the words{H1697} of his father,{H1} he cried{H6817} with an exceeding{H3966} great{H1419} and bitter{H4751} cry,{H6818} and said{H559} unto his father,{H1} Bless{H1288} me, even me also, O my father.{H1}

And he said,{H559} Thy brother{H251} came{H935} with guile,{H4820} and hath taken away{H3947} thy blessing.{H1293}

And he said,{H559} Is not he rightly{H3588} named{H7121} Jacob?{H3290} for he hath supplanted me{H6117} these{H2088} two times:{H6471} he took away{H3947} my birthright;{H1062} and, behold, now he hath taken away{H3947} my blessing.{H1293} And he said,{H559} Hast thou not reserved{H680} a blessing{H1293} for me?

And Isaac{H3327} answered{H6030} and said{H559} unto Esau,{H6215} Behold, I have made{H7760} him thy lord,{H1376} and all his brethren{H251} have I given{H5414} to him for servants;{H5650} and with grain{H1715} and new wine{H8492} have I sustained{H5564} him: and what then shall I do{H6213} for{H645} thee, my son?{H1121}

And Esau{H6215} said{H559} unto his father,{H1} Hast thou but one{H259} blessing,{H1293} my father?{H1} Bless{H1288} me, even me also, O my father.{H1} And Esau{H6215} lifted up{H5375} his voice,{H6963} and wept.{H1058}

And Isaac{H3327} his father{H1} answered{H6030} and said{H559} unto him, Behold, of the fatness{H4924} of the earth{H776} shall be thy dwelling,{H4186} And of the dew{H2919} of heaven{H8064} from above;{H5920}

And by thy sword{H2719} shalt thou live,{H2421} and thou shalt serve{H5647} thy brother;{H251} And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt break{H6561} loose, That thou shalt shake{H6561} his yoke{H5923} from off thy neck.{H6677}

And Esau{H6215} hated{H7852} Jacob{H3290} because{H5921} of the blessing{H1293} wherewith{H834} his father{H1} blessed him:{H1288} and Esau{H6215} said{H559} in his heart,{H3820} The days{H3117} of mourning{H60} for my father{H1} are at hand;{H7126} then will I slay{H2026} my brother{H251} Jacob.{H3290}

And the words{H1697} of Esau{H6215} her elder{H1419} son{H1121} were told{H5046} to Rebekah;{H7259} and she sent{H7971} and called{H7121} Jacob{H3290} her younger{H6996} son,{H1121} and said{H559} unto him, Behold, thy brother{H251} Esau,{H6215} as touching thee, doth comfort{H5162} himself, [purposing] to kill{H2026} thee.

Now therefore, my son,{H1121} obey{H8085} my voice;{H6963} and arise,{H6965} flee{H1272} thou to Laban{H3837} my brother{H251} to Haran;{H2771}

and tarry{H3427} with him a few{H259} days,{H3117} until{H834} thy brother's{H251} fury{H2534} turn away;{H7725}

until thy brother's{H251} anger{H639} turn away{H7725} from thee, and he forget{H7911} that which thou hast done{H6213} to him: then I will send,{H7971} and fetch{H3947} thee from thence: why{H4100} should I be bereaved{H7921} of you both{H8147} in one{H259} day?{H3117}

And Rebekah{H7259} said{H559} to Isaac,{H3327} I am weary{H6973} of my life{H2416} because{H6440} of the daughters{H1323} of Heth:{H2845} if Jacob{H3290} take{H3947} a wife{H802} of the daughters{H1323} of Heth,{H2845} such as these, of the daughters{H1323} of the land,{H776} what good{H4100} shall my life{H2416} do me?
