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
.
27:2
And he said,
Behold
now, I am old,
I know not the day of my death
:
27:3
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy
weapons
, thy
quiver
and thy
bow
, and go out to the field, and take me some
venison
;
27:4
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
.
27:5
And
Rebekah
heard when Isaac spake to Esau his
son
. And Esau went to the field to
hunt
for venison, and to bring it.
27:6
And Rebekah spake unto
Jacob
her son, saying,
Behold
, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
27:7
Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat
, that I may eat, and bless thee before
the LORD
before my death.
27:8
Now therefore, my son,
obey my voice
according to that which
I command thee
.
27:9
Go now to the
flock
, and fetch me from thence two
good kid
s of the
goat
s; and I will make them
savoury meat
for thy
father
, such as he loveth:
27:10
And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
27:11
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother,
Behold
, Esau my brother is
a hairy man
, and I am
a smooth man
:
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
.
27:13
And his mother said unto him,
Upon me be thy curse
, my son: only obey my voice, and
go fetch
me them.
27:14
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and
his mother made savoury meat
, such as his father loved.
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: 27:16 And she put the
skins of the kids of the goats
upon his
hands
, and upon
the smooth of his neck
:
27:17
And she gave the
savoury meat
and the
bread
, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
27:18
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said,
Here am I
; who art thou, my son?
27:19
And
Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born
; I have done according
as thou badest me
: arise, I pray thee,
sit and eat of my venison
, that thy
soul
may bless me.
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.
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.
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
.
27:23
And he discerned him not, because
his hands were hairy
, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
27:24
And he said,
Art thou my very son Esau?
And he said,
I am
.
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
.
27:26
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and
kiss me, my son
.
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:
27:28
Therefore God give thee of
the dew of heaven
, and
the fatness of the earth
, and plenty of
corn and wine
:
27:29
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee
: be
lord
over thy brethren, and let thy
mother's son
s bow down to thee:
cursed be every one that curseth thee
, and
blessed be he that blesseth thee
.
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
.
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
.
27:32
And Isaac his father said unto him,
Who art thou?
And he said, I am thy son, thy
firstborn
Esau.
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
.
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
.
27:35
And he said,
Thy brother came with subtilty
, and hath taken away thy blessing.
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?
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?
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
.
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;
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
.
27:41
And Esau
hate
d 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.
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
.
27:43
Now therefore, my son,
obey my voice
; arise, flee thou to
Laban
my brother to
Haran
;
27:44
And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's
fury
turn away;
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
?
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?
