Genesis 27:1-27

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961, that when IsaacH3327 was oldH1121, and his eyesH5869 were dim, soH7121 that he could notH1961 seeH7200, he calledH7121 EsauH6215 his elderH1419 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, My sonH1121: and he saidH559 unto him, HereH2009 am I.

2And he saidH559, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I am oldH2204, I knowH3045 notH3808 the dayH3117 of my deathH4194.

3NowH6258 therefore takeH5375, I prayH4994 thee, thy weaponsH3627, thy quiverH8522 and thy bowH7198, and goH3318 outH3318 to the fieldH7704, and takeH5375 meH4994 venison;

4and makeH6213 meH5315 savoury meat, suchH834 as I loveH157, and bringH935 it to meH5315, that I may eatH398; that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee beforeH2962 I dieH4191.

5And RebekahH7259 heardH8085 when IsaacH3327 spake to EsauH6215 his sonH1121. And EsauH6215 wentH935 to the fieldH7704 to huntH6679 for venison, and to bringH935 it.

6And RebekahH7259 spake unto JacobH3290 herH413 sonH1121, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, I heardH8085 thy fatherH1 speakH1696 unto EsauH6215 thy brotherH251, sayingH559,

7BringH935 meH6440 venison, and makeH6213 meH6440 savoury meat, that I may eatH398, and blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 my deathH4194.

8NowH6258 therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 according to that whichH834 I commandH6680 thee.

9GoH4994 nowH4994 to the flockH6629, and fetch meH413 from thence twoH8147 goodH2896 kids of the goatsH5795; and I will makeH6213 them savoury meat for thy fatherH1, suchH834 as he loveth:

10and thou shalt bringH935 it to thy fatherH1, that he may eatH398, soH834 that he may blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 his deathH4194.

11And JacobH3290 saidH559 to RebekahH7259 his motherH517, BeholdH2005, EsauH6215 my brotherH251 is a hairy manH376, and I am a smoothH2509 manH376.

12My fatherH1 peradventure will feelH4959 meH5921, and I shall seemH5869 to him as a deceiver; and I shall bringH935 a curseH7045 uponH5921 meH5921, and notH3808 a blessingH1293.

13And his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, UponH5921 meH5921 be thy curseH7045, my sonH1121: onlyH389 obeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and go fetch meH5921 them.

14And he wentH935, and fetched, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517: and his motherH517 madeH6213 savoury meat, suchH834 as his fatherH1 lovedH157.

15And RebekahH7259 tookH3947 the goodly raiment of EsauH6215 herH3947 elderH1419 sonH1121, whichH834 were with herH3947 in the houseH1004, and putH3847 them uponH3847 JacobH3290 herH3947 youngerH6996 sonH1121:

16and she putH3847 the skinsH5785 of the kids of the goatsH5795 uponH5921 his handsH3027, and uponH5921 the smooth of his neckH6677:

17and sheH834 gaveH5414 the savoury meat and the breadH3899, whichH834 sheH834 had preparedH6213, intoH3027 the handH3027 of herH5414 sonH1121 JacobH3290.

18And he cameH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, HereH2009 am I; who art thou, my sonH1121?

19And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, I am EsauH6215 thy firstbornH1060; I have doneH6213 accordingH413 as thou badest meH413: ariseH6965, I prayH4994 thee, sitH3427 and eatH398 of my venison, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 meH413.

20And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto his sonH1121, HowH4100 is it that thou hast foundH4672 it soH3588 quicklyH4116, my sonH1121? And he saidH559, BecauseH3588 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 sentH559 meH413 good speedH4116.

21And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, ComeH5066 nearH5066, I prayH4994 thee, that I may feelH4184 thee, my sonH1121, whetherH518 thou be my veryH2088 sonH1121 EsauH6215 or notH3808.

22And JacobH3290 wentH5066 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 discerned him notH3808, becauseH3588 his handsH3027 were hairy, as his brotherH251 Esau’sH6215 handsH3027: soH1961 he blessedH1288 him.

24And he saidH559, Art thou my veryH2088 sonH1121 EsauH6215? And he saidH559, I am.

25And he saidH559, BringH935 it nearH5066 to meH5315, and I will eatH398 of my son’sH1121 venison, that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee. And he broughtH935 it nearH5066 to him, and he did eatH398: and he broughtH935 him wineH3196, and he drankH8354.

26And his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto him, ComeH5066 nearH5066 nowH4994, and kiss meH413, my sonH1121.

27And he cameH5066 nearH5066, and kissedH5401 him: and he smelledH7306 the smellH7306 of his raiment, and blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, SeeH7200, the smellH7306 of my sonH1121 Is as the smellH7306 of a fieldH7704 whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288:
