4and prepare me a savoury dish such as I loveH157, and bringH935 it to me that I may eatH398, in orderH5668 that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee before I dieH4191.

5And Rebecca heardH8085 when IsaacH3327 spokeH1696 to EsauH6215 his sonH1121. And EsauH6215 wentH935 to the fieldH7704 to huntH6679 venison, to bringH935 it.

6And Rebecca spokeH1696 to JacobH3290 her sonH1121, sayingH559, Behold, I heardH8085 thy fatherH1 speakH1696 to EsauH6215 thy brotherH251, sayingH559,

7BringH935 me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eatH398, and blessH1288 thee before Jehovah, before my deathH4194.

8And nowH6258, my sonH1121, hearken to my voiceH6963 in that which I commandH6680 thee.

9Go, I pray thee, to the flockH6629, and fetch me thence twoH8147 goodH2896 kids of the goatsH5795. And I will makeH6213 of them a savoury dish for thy fatherH1, such as he lovesH157.

10And thou shalt bringH935 [it] to thy fatherH1, that he may eatH398, in orderH5668 that he may blessH1288 thee before his deathH4194.

11And JacobH3290 saidH559 to Rebecca his motherH517, Behold, EsauH6215 my brotherH251 is a hairy manH376, and I am a smoothH2509 manH376.

12My fatherH1 perhapsH194 will feelH4959 me, and I shall beH1961 in his sight as one who mocks [him], and I shall bringH935 a curseH7045 on me, and not a blessingH1293.

13And his motherH517 saidH559 to him, On me [be] thy curseH7045, my sonH1121! OnlyH389 hearken to my voiceH6963, and go, fetch [them].

14And he wentH935, and fetched and broughtH935 [them] to his motherH517. And his motherH517 prepared a savoury dish such as his fatherH1 lovedH157.
