Genesis 27:6-29
6And RebekahH7259 spakeH559 unto JacobH3290 her sonH1121, sayingH559, Behold, I heardH8085 thy fatherH1 speakH1696 unto EsauH6215 thy brotherH251, sayingH559, 7BringH935 me venisonH6718, and makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, that I may eatH398, and blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 beforeH6440 my deathH4194. 8Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 according to that whichH834 I commandH6680 thee. 9GoH3212 now to the flockH6629, and fetchH3947 me from thence twoH8147 goodH2896 kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795; and I will makeH6213 them savoury meatH4303 for thy fatherH1, such as he lovethH157: 10And thou shalt bringH935 it to thy fatherH1, that he may eatH398, and thatH834 he may blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 his deathH4194. 11And JacobH3290 saidH559 to RebekahH7259 his motherH517, Behold, EsauH6215 my brotherH251 is a hairyH8163 manH376, and I am a smoothH2509 manH376: 12My fatherH1 peradventure will feelH4959 me, and I shall seemH5869 to him as a deceiverH8591; and I shall bringH935 a curseH7045 upon me, and not a blessingH1293. 13And his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, Upon me be thy curseH7045, my sonH1121: only obeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and goH3212 fetchH3947 me them. 14And he wentH3212, and fetchedH3947, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517: and his motherH517 madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, such as his fatherH1 lovedH157. 15And RebekahH7259 tookH3947 goodlyH2532 raimentH899 of her eldestH1419 sonH1121 EsauH6215, which were with her in the houseH1004, and put them uponH3847 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121:1 16And she putH3847 the skinsH5785 of the kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795 upon his handsH3027, and upon the smoothH2513 of his neckH6677: 17And she gaveH5414 the savoury meatH4303 and the breadH3899, which she had preparedH6213, into the handH3027 of her sonH1121 JacobH3290.
18And he cameH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I; who art thou, my sonH1121? 19And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, I am EsauH6215 thy firstbornH1060; I have doneH6213 according as thou badestH1696 me: ariseH6965, I pray thee, sitH3427 and eatH398 of my venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me. 20And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto his sonH1121, How is it that thou hast foundH4672 it so quicklyH4116, my sonH1121? And he saidH559, because YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 broughtH7136 it to meH6440.2 21And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Come nearH5066, I pray thee, that I may feelH4184 thee, my sonH1121, whether thou be my veryH2088 sonH1121 EsauH6215 or not. 22And JacobH3290 went nearH5066 unto IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; and he feltH4959 him, and saidH559, The voiceH6963 is Jacob’sH3290 voiceH6963, but the handsH3027 are the handsH3027 of EsauH6215. 23And he discernedH5234 him not, because his handsH3027 were hairyH8163, as his brotherH251 Esau’sH6215 handsH3027: so he blessedH1288 him. 24And he saidH559, Art thou my very sonH1121 EsauH6215? And he saidH559, I am. 25And he saidH559, Bring it nearH5066 to me, and I will eatH398 of my son’sH1121 venisonH6718, that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee. And he brought it nearH5066 to him, and he did eatH398: and he broughtH935 him wineH3196, and he drankH8354. 26And his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto him, Come nearH5066 now, and kissH5401 me, my sonH1121. 27And he came nearH5066, and kissedH5401 him: and he smelledH7306 the smellH7381 of his raimentH899, and blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, SeeH7200, the smellH7381 of my sonH1121 is as the smellH7381 of a fieldH7704 which YhwhH3068 hath blessedH1288: 28Therefore GodH430 giveH5414 thee of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064, and the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and plentyH7230 of grainH1715 and wineH8492: 29Let peopleH5971 serveH5647 thee, and nationsH3816 bow downH7812 to thee: beH1933 lordH1376 over thy brethrenH251, and let thy mother’sH517 sonsH1121 bow downH7812 to thee: cursedH779 be every one that cursethH779 thee, and blessedH1288 be he that blessethH1288 thee.
