1 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 oldest son , and said to him, My son : and he said  2 And he said , See now, I am old , I know not the day of my death  3 Now therefore take , I pray you, your weapons , your quiver and your bow , and go out to the field , and take me [some] venison   4 And make me savoury meat , such as I love , and bring [it] to me, that I may eat ; that my soul may bless you before I die  5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son . And Esau went to the field to hunt [for] venison , [and] to bring  6 And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son , saying , See, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother , saying  7 Bring me venison , and make me savoury meat , that I may eat , and bless you before the LORD before my death  8 Now therefore, my son , obey my voice according to that which I command  9 Go now to the flock , and fetch me from there two good kids of the goats ; and I will make them savoury meat for your father , such as he loves  10 And you will bring [it] to your father , that he may eat , and that he may bless you before his death  11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother , See, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man , and I [am] a smooth man  12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I will seem to him as a deceiver ; and I will bring a curse on me, and not a blessing  13 And his mother said to him, Upon me [be] your curse , my son : only obey my voice , and go fetch  14 And he went , and fetched , and brought [them] to his mother : and his mother made savoury meat , such as his father loved  15 And Rebekah took goodly clothing of her oldest son Esau , which [were] with her in the house , and put them on Jacob her younger son  16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands , and on the smooth of his neck  17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread , which she had prepared , into the hand of her son Jacob  18 And he came to his father , and said , My father : and he said , Here [am] I; who [are] you, my son  19 And Jacob said to his father , I [am] Esau your firstborn ; I have done according as you badest me: arise , I pray you, sit and eat of my venison , that your soul may bless  20 And Isaac said to his son , How [is it] that you have found [it] so quickly , my son ? And he said , Because the LORD your God brought [it] to me  21 And Isaac said to Jacob , Come near , I pray you, that I may feel you, my son , whether you [be] my very son Esau  22 And Jacob went near to Isaac his father ; and he felt him, and said , The voice [is] Jacob's voice , but the hands [are] the hands of Esau  23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy , as his brother Esau's hands : so he blessed  24 And he said , [are] you my very son Esau ? And he said  25 And he said , Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison , that my soul may bless you. And he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat : and he brought him wine , and he drank  26 And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son  27 And he came near , and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his clothing , and blessed him, and said , See , the smell of my son [is] as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed  28 Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven , and the fatness of the earth , and plenty of corn and wine  29 Let people serve you, and nations bow down to you: be lord over your brothers , and let your mother's sons bow down to you: cursed [be] every one that curses you, and blessed [be] he that blesses  30 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  31 And he also had made savoury meat , and brought it to his father , and said to his father , Let my father arise , and eat of his son's venison , that your soul may bless  32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who [are] you? And he said , I [am] your son , your firstborn Esau  33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly  , and said , Who? where [is] he that has taken venison , and brought [it] me, and I have eaten of all before you came , and have blessed him? yes, [and] he will be blessed  34 And when Esau heard the words of his father , he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry , and said to his father , Bless me, [even] me also, O my father  35 And he said , your brother came with subtilty , and has taken away your blessing  36 And he said , Is not he rightly named  Jacob ? for he has supplanted me these two times : he took away my birthright ; and, see, now he has taken away my blessing . And he said , have you not reserved a blessing  37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau , See, I have made him your lord , and all his brothers have I given to him for servants ; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what will I do now to you, my son  38 And Esau said to his father , have you but one blessing , my father ? bless me, [even] me also, O my father . And Esau lifted up his voice , and wept  39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, See, your dwelling will be the fatness of the earth , and of the dew of heaven from above  40 And by your sword will you live , and will serve your brother ; and it will come to pass when you will have the dominion , that you will break his yoke from off your neck  41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him : and Esau said in his heart , The days of mourning for my father are at hand ; then will I kill my brother Jacob  42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah : and she sent and called Jacob her younger son , and said to him, See, your brother Esau , as touching you, does comfort himself, [purposing] to kill  43 Now therefore, my son , obey my voice ; and arise , flee you to Laban my brother to Haran  44 And tarry with him a few days , until your brother's fury turn away  45 Until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forget [that] which you have done to him: then I will send , and fetch you from there: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day  46 And Rebekah said to Isaac , I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth : if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth , such as these [which are] of the daughters of the land , what good will my life
