Genesis 27:1-13 ▼

1 And it shall be as Isaak grew old, and his eyes shall be weak for seeing, and he will call Esau his son the great, and he will say to him, My son: and he will say to him, Behold me.

2 And he will say, Behold now, I grew old; I knew not the day of my death.

3 Therefore take now, thy weapon, thy quiver and thy bow, and go forth to the field and hunt for me a hunting.

4 And make for me dainties as that I loved, and bring it to me, and eating, that my soul shall praise thee before I shall die.

5 And Rebekah heard in the speaking of Isaak to Esau his son: and Esau went to the field to hunt, a hunting, to bring.

6 And Rebekah spake to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,

7 Bring to me a hunting, and make for me dainties, and eating, and I will praise thee before Jehovah, before my death.

8 And now my son, hear to my voice, according to that I command thee.

9 Go now to the flocks, and take to me from thence two kids of the she-goats good, and I will make them dainties for thy father, as that he loved.

10 And thou shall bring to thy father, and eating, so that he will praise thee before his death.

11 And Jacob will say to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother a man of hair, and I a smooth man:

12 Perhaps my father will feel me, and I was in his eyes as mocking; and I brought a curse and not a praise.

13 And his mother will say to him, Upon me thy curse my son; only hear to my voice, and go take to me.
