27:1 And it came to pass 1961 8799, that when Isaac 3327 was old 2204 8804, and his eyes 5869 were dim 3543 8799, so that he could not see 7200 8800, he called 7121 8799 Esau 6215 his eldest 1419 son 1121, and said 559 8799 unto him, My son 1121: and he said 559 8799 unto him, Behold, [here am] I.

27:2 And he said 559 8799, Behold now, I am old 2204 8804, I know 3045 8804 not the day 3117 of my death 4194:

27:3 Now therefore take 5375 8798, I pray thee, thy weapons 3627, thy quiver 8522 and thy bow 7198, and go out 3318 8798 to the field 7704, and take 6679 8798 me [some] venison 6718 8675 6720;(take: Heb. hunt)

27:4 And make 6213 8798 me savoury meat 4303, such as 834 I love 157 8804, and bring 935 8685 [it] to me, that I may eat 398 8799; that my soul 5315 may bless 1288 8762 thee before 2962 I die 4191 8799.

27:5 And Rebekah 7259 heard 8085 8802 when Isaac 3327 spake 1696 8763 to Esau 6215 his son 1121. And Esau 6215 went 3212 8799 to the field 7704 to hunt 6679 8800 [for] venison 6718, [and] to bring 935 8687 [it].

27:6 And Rebekah 7259 spake 559 8804 unto Jacob 3290 her son 1121, saying 559 8800, Behold, I heard 8085 8804 thy father 1 speak 1696 8764 unto Esau 6215 thy brother 251, saying 559 8800,

27:7 Bring 935 8685 me venison 6718, and make 6213 8798 me savoury meat 4303, that I may eat 398 8799, and bless 1288 8762 thee before 6440 the LORD 3068 before 6440 my death 4194.

27:8 Now therefore, my son 1121, obey 8085 8798 my voice 6963 according to that which 834 I command 6680 8764 thee.

27:9 Go 3212 8798 now to the flock 6629, and fetch 3947 8798 me from thence two 8147 good 2896 kids 1423 of the goats 5795; and I will make 6213 8799 them savoury meat 4303 for thy father 1, such as he loveth 157 8804:

27:10 And thou shalt bring 935 8689 [it] to thy father 1, that he may eat 398 8804, and that 834 he may bless 1288 8762 thee before 6440 his death 4194.

27:11 And Jacob 3290 said 559 8799 to Rebekah 7259 his mother 517, Behold, Esau 6215 my brother 251 [is] a hairy 8163 man 376, and I [am] a smooth 2509 man 376:

27:12 My father 1 peradventure will feel 4959 8799 me, and I shall seem 5869 to him as a deceiver 8591 8772; and I shall bring 935 8689 a curse 7045 upon me, and not a blessing 1293.

27:13 And his mother 517 said 559 8799 unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse 7045, my son 1121: only obey 8085 8798 my voice 6963, and go 3212 8798 fetch 3947 8798 me [them].

27:14 And he went 3212 8799, and fetched 3947 8799, and brought 935 8686 [them] to his mother 517: and his mother 517 made 6213 8799 savoury meat 4303, such as his father 1 loved 157 8804.

27:15 And Rebekah 7259 took 3947 8799 goodly 2532 raiment 899 of her eldest 1419 son 1121 Esau 6215, which [were] with her in the house 1004, and put them upon 3847 8686 Jacob 3290 her younger 6996 son 1121:(goodly: Heb. desirable)

27:16 And she put 3847 8689 the skins 5785 of the kids 1423 of the goats 5795 upon his hands 3027, and upon the smooth 2513 of his neck 6677:

27:17 And she gave 5414 8799 the savoury meat 4303 and the bread 3899, which she had prepared 6213 8804, into the hand 3027 of her son 1121 Jacob 3290.

27:18 And he came 935 8799 unto his father 1, and said 559 8799, My father 1: and he said 559 8799, Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son 1121?

27:19 And Jacob 3290 said 559 8799 unto his father 1, I [am] Esau 6215 thy firstborn 1060; I have done 6213 8804 according as thou badest 1696 8765 me: arise 6965 8798, I pray thee, sit 3427 8798 and eat 398 8798 of my venison 6718, that thy soul 5315 may bless 1288 8762 me.

27:20 And Isaac 3327 said 559 8799 unto his son 1121, How [is it] that thou hast found 4672 8800 [it] so quickly 4116 8765, my son 1121? And he said 559 8799, Because the LORD 3068 thy God 430 brought 7136 8689 [it] to me 6440.(to me: Heb. before me)

27:21 And Isaac 3327 said 559 8799 unto Jacob 3290, Come near 5066 8798, I pray thee, that I may feel 4184 8799 thee, my son 1121, whether thou [be] my very 2088 son 1121 Esau 6215 or not.

27:22 And Jacob 3290 went near 5066 8799 unto Isaac 3327 his father 1; and he felt 4959 8799 him, and said 559 8799, The voice 6963 [is] Jacob's 3290 voice 6963, but the hands 3027 [are] the hands 3027 of Esau 6215.

27:23 And he discerned 5234 8689 him not, because his hands 3027 were hairy 8163, as his brother 251 Esau's 6215 hands 3027: so he blessed 1288 8762 him.

27:24 And he said 559 8799, [Art] thou my very son 1121 Esau 6215? And he said 559 8799, I [am].

27:25 And he said 559 8799, Bring [it] near 5066 8685 to me, and I will eat 398 8799 of my son's 1121 venison 6718, that my soul 5315 may bless 1288 8762 thee. And he brought [it] near 5066 8686 to him, and he did eat 398 8799: and he brought 935 8686 him wine 3196, and he drank 8354 8799.

27:26 And his father 1 Isaac 3327 said 559 8799 unto him, Come near 5066 8798 now, and kiss 5401 8798 me, my son 1121.

27:27 And he came near 5066 8799, and kissed 5401 8799 him: and he smelled 7306 8686 the smell 7381 of his raiment 899, and blessed 1288 8762 him, and said 559 8799, See 7200 8798, the smell 7381 of my son 1121 [is] as the smell 7381 of a field 7704 which the LORD 3068 hath blessed 1288 8765:

27:28 Therefore God 430 give 5414 8799 thee of the dew 2919 of heaven 8064, and the fatness 4924 of the earth 776, and plenty 7230 of corn 1715 and wine 8492:

27:29 Let people 5971 serve 5647 8799 thee, and nations 3816 bow down 7812 8691 to thee: be 1933 8798 lord 1376 over thy brethren 251, and let thy mother's 517 sons 1121 bow down 7812 8691 to thee: cursed 779 8803 [be] every one that curseth 779 8802 thee, and blessed 1288 8803 [be] he that blesseth 1288 8764 thee.

27:30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac 3327 had made an end 3615 8765 of blessing 1288 8763 Jacob 3290, and Jacob 3290 was yet 389 scarce 3318 8800 gone out 3318 8804 from the presence 6440 of Isaac 3327 his father 1, that Esau 6215 his brother 251 came in 935 8804 from his hunting 6718.

27:31 And he also had made 6213 8799 savoury meat 4303, and brought it 935 8686 unto his father 1, and said 559 8799 unto his father 1, Let my father 1 arise 6965 8799, and eat 398 8799 of his son's 1121 venison 6718, that thy soul 5315 may bless 1288 8762 me.

27:32 And Isaac 3327 his father 1 said 559 8799 unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said 559 8799, I [am] thy son 1121, thy firstborn 1060 Esau 6215.

27:33 And Isaac 3327 trembled 2729 8799 very 1419 exceedingly 3966 2731, and said 559 8799, Who? where 645 [is] he that hath taken 6679 8801 venison 6718, and brought 935 8686 [it] me, and I have eaten 398 8799 of all before thou camest 935 8799, and have blessed 1288 8762 him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed 1288 8803.(trembled…: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly)(taken: Heb. hunted)

27:34 And when Esau 6215 heard 8085 8800 the words 1697 of his father 1, he cried 6817 8799 with a great 1419 and exceeding 3966 bitter 4751 cry 6818, and said 559 8799 unto his father 1, Bless 1288 8761 me, [even] me also, O my father 1.

27:35 And he said 559 8799, Thy brother 251 came 935 8804 with subtilty 4820, and hath taken away 3947 8799 thy blessing 1293.

27:36 And he said 559 8799, Is not he rightly 3588 named 7121 8804 8034 Jacob 3290? for he hath supplanted me 6117 8799 these 2088 two times 6471: he took away 3947 8804 my birthright 1062; and, behold, now he hath taken away 3947 8804 my blessing 1293. And he said 559 8799, Hast thou not reserved 680 8804 a blessing 1293 for me?(Jacob: that is, A supplanter)

27:37 And Isaac 3327 answered 6030 8799 and said 559 8799 unto Esau 6215, Behold, I have made 7760 8804 him thy lord 1376, and all his brethren 251 have I given 5414 8804 to him for servants 5650; and with corn 1715 and wine 8492 have I sustained 5564 8804 him: and what shall I do 6213 8799 now 645 unto thee, my son 1121?(sustained: or, supported)

27:38 And Esau 6215 said 559 8799 unto his father 1, Hast thou but one 259 blessing 1293, my father 1? bless 1288 8761 me, [even] me also, O my father 1. And Esau 6215 lifted up 5375 8799 his voice 6963, and wept 1058 8799.

27:39 And Isaac 3327 his father 1 answered 6030 8799 and said 559 8799 unto him, Behold, thy dwelling 4186 shall be the fatness 4924 of the earth 776, and of the dew 2919 of heaven 8064 from above 5920;(the fatness: or, of the fatness)

27:40 And by thy sword 2719 shalt thou live 2421 8799, and shalt serve 5647 8799 thy brother 251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion 7300 8686, that thou shalt break 6561 8804 his yoke 5923 from off thy neck 6677.

27:41 And Esau 6215 hated 7852 8799 Jacob 3290 because 5921 of the blessing 1293 wherewith 834 his father 1 blessed him 1288 8765: and Esau 6215 said 559 8799 in his heart 3820, The days 3117 of mourning 60 for my father 1 are at hand 7126 8799; then will I slay 2026 8799 my brother 251 Jacob 3290.

27:42 And these words 1697 of Esau 6215 her elder 1419 son 1121 were told 5046 8714 to Rebekah 7259: and she sent 7971 8799 and called 7121 8799 Jacob 3290 her younger 6996 son 1121, and said 559 8799 unto him, Behold, thy brother 251 Esau 6215, as touching thee, doth comfort 5162 8693 himself, [purposing] to kill 2026 8800 thee.

27:43 Now therefore, my son 1121, obey 8085 8798 my voice 6963; and arise 6965 8798, flee 1272 8798 thou to Laban 3837 my brother 251 to Haran 2771;

27:44 And tarry 3427 8804 with him a few 259 days 3117, until 834 thy brother's 251 fury 2534 turn away 7725 8799;

27:45 Until thy brother's 251 anger 639 turn away 7725 8800 from thee, and he forget 7911 8804 [that] which thou hast done 6213 8804 to him: then I will send 7971 8804, and fetch 3947 8804 thee from thence: why 4100 should I be deprived 7921 8799 also of you both 8147 in one 259 day 3117?

27:46 And Rebekah 7259 said 559 8799 to Isaac 3327, I am weary 6973 8804 of my life 2416 because 6440 of the daughters 1323 of Heth 2845: if Jacob 3290 take 3947 8802 a wife 802 of the daughters 1323 of Heth 2845, such as these [which are] of the daughters 1323 of the land 776, what good 4100 shall my life 2416 do me?
