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:
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.
say
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.
say
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

and the fatness

Let people

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.
And he also had made
savoury meat,
and brought it
unto his father,
and said
unto his father,
Let my father
arise,
and eat
of his son's
venison,
that thy soul
may bless
me.

And Isaac
his father
said
unto him, Who art thou? And he said,
I am thy son,
thy firstborn
Esau.
And Isaac
trembled
very
exceedingly,
and said,
Who? where
is he that hath taken
venison,
and brought
it me, and I have eaten
of all before thou camest,
and have blessed
him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
say
And when Esau
heard
the words
of his father,
he cried
with a great
and exceeding
bitter
cry,
and said
unto his father,
Bless
me, even me also, O my father.
say
And he said,
Thy brother
came
with subtilty,
and hath taken away
thy blessing.
And he said,
Is not he rightly
named
Jacob?
for he hath supplanted me
these
two times:
he took away
my birthright;
and, behold, now he hath taken away
my blessing.
And he said,
Hast thou not reserved
a blessing
for me?

And Isaac

Behold, I have made

to him for servants;
and with corn

him: and what shall I do
now
unto thee, my son?
say
And Esau
said
unto his father,
Hast thou but one
blessing,
my father?
bless
me, even me also, O my father.
And Esau
lifted up
his voice,
and wept.

And Isaac
his father
answered
and said
unto him, Behold, thy dwelling
shall be the fatness

of heaven
from above;

And by thy sword
shalt thou live,

And Esau
hated
Jacob
because
of the blessing
wherewith
his father
blessed him:
and Esau
said
in his heart,
The days
of mourning
for my father
are at hand;
then will I slay
my brother
Jacob.

And these words

and she sent

Jacob
her younger

unto him, Behold, thy brother
Esau,
as touching thee, doth comfort
himself, purposing to kill
thee.

Now therefore, my son,
obey
my voice;
and arise,
flee
thou to Laban
my brother
to Haran;
And tarry
with him a few
days,
until
thy brother's
fury
turn away;
Until thy brother's
anger
turn away
from thee, and he forget
that which thou hast done
to him: then I will send,
and fetch
thee from thence: why
should I be deprived
also of you both
in one
day?

what good
