Genesis 27:4-14

4and prepareH6213 a deliciousH4303 mealH4303 for me suchH3512 asH3512 I loveH157, and bringH935 it to me that I may eatH398, soH5668 thatH5668 1my soulH5315 may blessH1288 you beforeH2962 I dieH4191.”

5Now RebekahH7259 was listeningH8085 while IsaacH3327 spokeH1696 to his sonH1121 EsauH6215. So when EsauH6215 wentH1980 to the fieldH7704 to huntH6679 for gameH6718 to bringH935 home, 62RebekahH7259 saidH559 to her sonH1121 JacobH3290, “BeholdH2009, I heardH8085 your fatherH1 speakH1696 to your brotherH251 EsauH6215, sayingH559, 7‘BringH935 me some gameH6718 and prepareH6213 a deliciousH4303 mealH4303 for me, so that I may eatH398, and blessH1288 you in the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068 beforeH6440 my deathH4194.’ 8So nowH6258, my sonH1121, 3listenH8085 to 4me 5as I commandH6680 you. 9GoH1980 nowH4994 to the flockH6629 and 6bringH3947 me twoH8147 choiceH2896 7youngH1423H5795 goatsH1423H5795 from thereH8033, so that I may prepareH6213 them as a deliciousH4303 mealH4303 for your fatherH1, suchH3512 asH3512 he lovesH157. 10Then you shall bringH935 it to your fatherH1, that he may eatH398, soH5668H834 thatH5668H834 he may blessH1288 you beforeH6440 his deathH4194.” 11But JacobH3290 saidH559 to his motherH517 RebekahH7259, “BeholdH2005, my brotherH251 EsauH6215 is a 8hairyH8163 manH376 and I am a smoothH2509 manH376. 129PerhapsH194 my fatherH1 will touchH4959 me, then I will be like a 10deceiverH8591 in his sightH5869, and I will bringH935 upon myself a curseH7045 and not a blessingH1293.” 13But his motherH517 saidH559 to him, “Your curseH7045 be on me, my sonH1121; onlyH389 11obeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and goH1980, getH3947 the goats for me.” 14So he wentH1980 and gotH3947 them, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517; and his motherH517 madeH6213 a deliciousH4303 mealH4303 suchH3512 asH3512 his fatherH1 lovedH157.
