01_GEN_27_01 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 .
01_GEN_27_02 And he said , behold now , I am old , I know not the day of my death :
01_GEN_27_03 now therefore take , I pray thee , thy weapons , thy quiver And thy bow , And go out to the field , And take me [ some ] venison ;
01_GEN_27_04 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 .
01_GEN_27_05 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son . And Esau went to the field to hunt [ for ] venison , [ And ] to bring [ it ] .
01_GEN_27_06 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son , saying , behold , I heard thy Father speak unto Esau thy brother , saying ,
01_GEN_27_07 bring me venison , And make me savoury meat , that I may eat , And bless thee before the LORD before my death .
01_GEN_27_08 now therefore , my son , obey my voice according to that which I command thee .
01_GEN_27_09 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 :
01_GEN_27_10 And thou shalt bring [ it ] to thy Father , that he may eat , And that he may bless thee before his death .
01_GEN_27_11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother , behold , Esau my brother [ Is ] A hairy man , And I [ am ] A smooth man :
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_13 And his mother said unto him , upon me [ be ] thy curse , my son : only obey my voice , And go fetch me [ them ] .
01_GEN_27_14 And he went , And fetched , And brought [ them ] to his mother : And his mother made savoury meat , such as his Father loved .
01_GEN_27_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 :
01_GEN_27_16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands , And upon the smooth of his neck :
01_GEN_27_17 And she gave the savoury meat And the bread , which she had prepared , into the hand of her son Jacob .
01_GEN_27_18 And he came unto his Father , And said , my Father : And he said , here [ am ] I ; who [ art ] thou , my son ?
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_23 And he discerned him not , because his hands were hairy , as his brother Esau's hands : So he blessed him .
01_GEN_27_24 And he said , [ art ] thou my very son Esau ? And he said , I [ am ] .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_26 And his Father Isaac said unto him , come near now , And kiss me , my son .
01_GEN_27_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 :
01_GEN_27_28 therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven , And the fatness of the earth , And plenty of corn And wine :
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_32 And Isaac his Father said unto him , who [ art ] thou ? And he said , I [ am ] thy son , thy firstborn Esau .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_35 And he said , thy brother came with subtlety , And hath taken away thy blessing .
01_GEN_27_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 ?
01_GEN_27_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 ?
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_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 ;
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_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 .
01_GEN_27_43 now therefore , my son , obey my voice ; And Arise , flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran ;
01_GEN_27_44 And tarry with him A few days , until thy brother's fury turn away ;
01_GEN_27_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 ?
01_GEN_27_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 ?
