And it came to pass,that when Isaacwas old,and his eyeswere dim,so that he could not see,he calledEsauhis eldestson,and saidunto him, My son:and he said
And he said,Behold now, I am old,I knownot the dayof my death:
Now therefore take,I pray thee, thy weapons,thy quiverand thy bow,and go outto the field,and takemesomevenison;
And makeme savoury meat,such asI love,and bringitto me, that I may eat;that my soulmay blessthee beforeI die.
And Rebekahheardwhen Isaacspaketo Esauhis son.And Esauwentto the fieldto huntforvenison,andto bring
And Rebekahspakeunto Jacobher son,saying,Behold, I heardthy fatherspeakunto Esauthy brother,saying,
Bringme venison,and makeme savoury meat,that I may eat,and blessthee beforethe LORDbeforemy death.
Now therefore, my son,obeymy voiceaccording to that whichI command
Gonow to the flock,and fetchme from thence twogoodkidsof the goats;and I will makethem savoury meatfor thy father,such as he loveth:
And thou shalt bringitto thy father,that he may eat,and thathe may blessthee beforehis death.
And Jacobsaidto Rebekahhis mother,Behold, Esaumy brotherisa hairyman,and Iama smoothman:
My fatherperadventure will feelme, and I shall seemto him as a deceiver;and I shall bringa curseupon me, and not a blessing.
And his mothersaidunto him, Upon mebethy curse,my son:only obeymy voice,and gofetch
And he went,and fetched,and broughtthemto his mother:and his mothermadesavoury meat,such as his fatherloved.
And Rebekahtookgoodlyraimentof her eldestsonEsau,whichwerewith her in the house,and put them uponJacobher youngerson:
And she putthe skinsof the kidsof the goatsupon his hands,and upon the smoothof his neck:
And she gavethe savoury meatand the bread,which she had prepared,into the handof her sonJacob.
And he cameunto his father,and said,My father:and he said,HereamI; whoartthou, my son?
And Jacobsaidunto his father,IamEsauthy firstborn;I have doneaccording as thou badestme: arise,I pray thee, sitand eatof my venison,that thy soulmay bless
And Isaacsaidunto his son,Howis itthat thou hast founditso quickly,my son?And he said,Because the LORDthy Godbroughtitto me.
And Isaacsaidunto Jacob,Come near,I pray thee, that I may feelthee, my son,whether thoubemy verysonEsau
And Jacobwent nearunto Isaachis father;and he felthim, and said,The voiceisJacob'svoice,but the handsarethe handsof Esau.
And he discernedhim not, because his handswere hairy,as his brotherEsau'shands:so he blessed
And he said,Artthou my very sonEsau?And he said,
And he said,Bringitnearto me, and I will eatof my son'svenison,that my soulmay blessthee. And he broughtitnearto him, and he did eat:and he broughthim wine,and he drank.
And his fatherIsaacsaidunto him, Come nearnow, and kissme, my son.
And he came near,and kissedhim: and he smelledthe smellof his raiment,and blessedhim, and said,See,the smellof my sonisas the smellof a fieldwhich the LORDhath blessed:
Therefore Godgivethee of the dewof heaven,and the fatnessof the earth,and plentyof cornand wine:
Let peopleservethee, and nationsbow downto thee: belordover thy brethren,and let thy mother'ssonsbow downto thee: cursedbeevery one that curseththee, and blessedbehe that blesseth
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaachad made an endof blessingJacob,and Jacobwas yetscarcegone outfrom the presenceof Isaachis father,that Esauhis brothercame infrom his hunting.
And he also had madesavoury meat,and brought itunto his father,and saidunto his father,Let my fatherarise,and eatof his son'svenison,that thy soulmay bless
And Isaachis fathersaidunto him, Whoartthou? And he said,Iamthy son,thy firstbornEsau.
And Isaactrembledveryexceedingly,and said,Who? whereishe that hath takenvenison,and broughtitme, and I have eatenof all before thou camest,and have blessedhim? yea,andhe shall be blessed.
And when Esauheardthe wordsof his father,he criedwith a greatand exceedingbittercry,and saidunto his father,Blessme,evenme also, O my father.
And he said,Thy brothercamewith subtilty,and hath taken awaythy blessing.
And he said,Is not he rightlynamedJacob?for he hath supplanted methesetwo times:he took awaymy birthright;and, behold, now he hath taken awaymy blessing.And he said,Hast thou not reserveda blessing
And Isaacansweredand saidunto Esau,Behold, I have madehim thy lord,and all his brethrenhave I givento him for servants;and with cornand winehave I sustainedhim: and what shall I donowunto thee, my son?
And Esausaidunto his father,Hast thou but oneblessing,my father?blessme,evenme also, O my father.And Esaulifted uphis voice,and wept.
And Isaachis fatheransweredand saidunto him, Behold, thy dwellingshall be the fatnessof the earth,and of the dewof heavenfrom above;
And by thy swordshalt thou live,and shalt servethy brother;and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion,that thou shalt breakhis yokefrom off thy neck.
And EsauhatedJacobbecauseof the blessingwherewithhis fatherblessed him:and Esausaidin his heart,The daysof mourningfor my fatherare at hand;then will I slaymy brotherJacob.
And these wordsof Esauher eldersonwere toldto Rebekah:and she sentand calledJacobher youngerson,and saidunto him, Behold, thy brotherEsau,as touching thee, doth comforthimself,purposingto kill
Now therefore, my son,obeymy voice;and arise,fleethou to Labanmy brotherto Haran;
And tarrywith him a fewdays,untilthy brother'sfuryturn away;
Until thy brother'sangerturn awayfrom thee, and he forgetthatwhich thou hast doneto him: then I will send,and fetchthee from thence: whyshould I be deprivedalso of you bothin oneday?
And Rebekahsaidto Isaac,I am wearyof my lifebecauseof the daughtersof Heth:if Jacobtakea wifeof the daughtersof Heth,such as thesewhich areof the daughtersof the land,what goodshall my life
