Genesis 27
| 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. |
| And he said, Behold now, I
am old, I know not the day of my death: |
| Now therefore take, I pray
thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and
go out to the field, and take me some venison; |
| 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. |
| And Rebekah heard when
Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to
the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. |
| And Rebekah spake unto
Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy
father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, |
| Bring me venison, and make
me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee
before the LORD before my death. |
| Now therefore, my son, obey
my voice according to that which I command thee. |
| Go now to the flock, and
fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats;
and I will make them savoury meat for thy
father, such as he loveth: |
| And thou shalt bring it to
thy father, that he may eat, and that he may
bless thee before his death. |
| And Jacob said to Rebekah
his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy
man, and I am a smooth man: |
| 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. |
| And his mother said unto
him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my
voice, and go fetch me them. |
| And he went, and fetched,
and brought them to his mother: and his mother
made savoury meat, such as his father loved. |
| 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: |

Genesis 27
| And she put the skins of
the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon
the smooth of his neck: |
| And she gave the savoury
meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into
the hand of her son Jacob. |
| And he came unto his
father, and said, My father: and he said, Here
am I; who art thou, my son? |
| And Jacob said unto his
father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done
according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee,
sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may
bless me. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| And he discerned him not,
because his hands were hairy, as his brother
Esau's hands: so he blessed him. |
| And he said, Art thou my
very son Esau? And he said, I am. |
| 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. |
| And his father Isaac said
unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. |
| 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: |
| Therefore God give thee of
the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth,
and plenty of corn and wine: |
| Let people serve thee, and
nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy
brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to
thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and
blessed be he that blesseth thee. |
| 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. |
