And it came to pass, thatwhen Isaacwas old, and his eyeswere dim, so that he could not see, he calledEsauhis eldestson, and saiduntohim, My son: and he saiduntohim, Behold, here am I. And he said, Beholdnow, I am old, I knownotthe dayof my death: Nowtherefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiverand thy bow, and go outto the field, and takeme some venison; And makeme savory meat, such asI love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; thatmy soulmay blessthee beforeI die. And Rebekahheardwhen IsaacspoketoEsauhis son. And Esauwentto the fieldto hunt for venison, and to bring it . And RebekahspokeuntoJacobher son, saying, Behold, I heardthy fatherspeakuntoEsauthy brother, saying, Bringme venison, and makeme savory meat, that I may eat, and blessthee beforethe LORDbeforemy death. Nowtherefore, my son, obeymy voiceaccording to that whichIcommandthee. Gonowtothe flock, and fetchme from thencetwogoodkidsof the goats; and I will makethem savory meatfor thy father, such ashe loveth: And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and thathe may blessthee beforehis death. And JacobsaidtoRebekahhis mother, Behold, Esaumy brother is a hairyman, and I am a smoothman: My fatherperadventurewill feelme, and I shall seemto himas a deceiver; and I shall bringa curseuponme, and nota blessing. And his mothersaidunto him, Uponme be thy curse, my son: onlyobeymy voice, and gofetchme them . And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mothermadesavory meat, such ashis fatherloved. And Rebekahtookgoodlyraimentof her eldestsonEsau, which were withher in the house, and put them uponJacobher youngerson: And she putthe skinsof the kidsof the goatsuponhis hands, and uponthe smoothof his neck: And she gavethe savory meatand the bread, whichshe had prepared, into the handof her sonJacob. And he cameuntohis father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? And Jacobsaiduntohis father, I am Esauthy firstborn; I have doneaccording asthou biddestme: arise, I pray thee, sitand eatof my venison, thatthy soulmay blessme. And Isaacsaiduntohis son, How is itthat thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Becausethe LORDthy Godbrought it tome. And IsaacsaiduntoJacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feelthee, my son, whether thou be my verysonEsauornot. And Jacobwent nearuntoIsaachis father; and he felthim, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the handsof Esau. And he discernedhim not, becausehis handswerehairy, as his brotherEsau's hands: so he blessedhim. And he said, Art thoumy verysonEsau? And he said, I am . And he said, Bring it nearto me, and I will eatof my son's venison, thatmy soulmay blessthee. And he brought it nearto him, and he did eat: and he broughthim wine, and he drank. And his fatherIsaacsaiduntohim, Come nearnow, and kissme, my son. And he came near, and kissedhim: and he smelledthe smellof his raiment, and blessedhim, and said, See, the smellof my son is as the smellof a fieldwhichthe LORDhath blessed: Therefore Godgivethee of the dewof heaven, and the fatnessof the earth, and plentyof cornand wine: Let peopleservethee, and nationsbow downto thee: belordover thy brethren, and let thy mother's sonsbow downto thee: cursed be every one that curseththee, and blessed be he that blesseththee. And it came to pass, as soon asIsaachad made an endof blessingJacob, and Jacobwasyetscarce gone outfromthe presenceof Isaachis father, that Esauhis brothercame infrom his hunting. And healsohad madesavory meat, and broughtit unto his father, and saidunto his father, Let my fatherarise, and eatof his son's venison, thatthy soulmay blessme. And Isaachis fathersaidunto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstbornEsau. And Isaactrembledvery exceedingly, and said, Who? where is hethat hath takenvenison, and brought it me, and I have eatenof allbeforethou camest, and have blessedhim? yea, and he shall beblessed. And when Esauheardthe wordsof his father, he criedwith a greatandexceedingbittercry, and saidunto his father, Blessme, even mealso, O my father. And he said, Thy brothercamewith subtlety, and hath taken awaythy blessing. And he said, Is not he rightlynamedJacob? for he hath supplantedme thesetwo times: he took awaymy birthright; and, behold, nowhe hath taken awaymy blessing. And he said, Hast thou notreserveda blessingfor me? And Isaacansweredand saidunto Esau, Behold, I have madehim thy lord, and allhis brethrenhave I givento him for servants; and with cornand winehave I sustainedhim: and whatshall I donowunto thee, my son? And Esausaiduntohis father, Hast thou but oneblessing, my father? blessme, even mealso, O my father. And Esaulifted uphis voice, and wept. And Isaachis fatheransweredand saiduntohim, Behold, thy dwellingshall bethe fatnessof the earth, and of the dewof heavenfrom above; And bythy swordshalt thou live, and shalt servethy brother; and it shall come to passwhenthou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt breakhis yokefrom offthy neck. And EsauhatedJacobbecause ofthe blessingwherewithhis fatherblessedhim: and Esausaidin his heart, The daysof mourningfor my fatherare at hand; then will I slaymy brotherJacob. And these wordsof Esauher eldersonwere toldto Rebekah: and she sentand calledJacobher youngerson, and saiduntohim, Behold, thy brotherEsau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to killthee. Nowtherefore, my son, obeymy voice; and arise, fleethou toLabanmy brotherto Haran; And tarrywithhim a fewdays, untilthy brother's furyturn away; Untilthy brother's angerturn awayfromthee, and he forget that whichthou hast doneto him: then I will send, and fetchthee from thence: whyshould I be deprivedalsoof you bothin oneday? And RebekahsaidtoIsaac, I am wearyof my lifebecauseof the daughtersof Heth: ifJacobtakea wifeof the daughtersof Heth, such as these which are of the daughtersof the land, what goodshall my lifedo me?
