Genesis 27:1-7 ▼

1 Eventually, Isaac grew so old that he could not see. One day, he called his eldest son Esau. |My son,| he called out to him.

2 |Look how old I am! I could die any day now,

3 so go find your weapons, take your bow and arrows, go outside, and hunt some game for me.

4 Then prepare some food, just the way I like it, and bring it to me so that I can eat and bless you before I die.|

5 Now Rebekah overheard Isaac while he was speaking to his son Esau. When Esau had gone out to the field to hunt and bring in some game,

6 Rebekah gave these instructions to her son Jacob: |Quick! Pay attention!| she said. |I heard your father talking to your brother Esau. He told him,

7 Bring me some game and then prepare some food for me so I can eat and bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.'
