Genesis 27:35 (NET) New English Translation

1 When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he was almost blind, he called his older son Esau and said to him, "My son!" "Here I am!" Esau replied.
2 Isaac said, "Since I am so old, I could die at any time.
3 Therefore, take your weapons� your quiver and your bow� and go out into the open fields and hunt down some wild game for me.
4 Then prepare for me some tasty food, the kind I love, and bring it to me. Then I will eat it so that I may bless you before I die."
5 Now Rebekah had been listening while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau went out to the open fields to hunt down some wild game and bring it back,
6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "Look, I overheard your father tell your brother Esau,
7 'Bring me some wild game and prepare for me some tasty food. Then I will eat it and bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.'
8 Now then, my son, do exactly what I tell you!
9 Go to the flock and get me two of the best young goats. I'll prepare them in a tasty way for your father, just the way he loves them.
10 Then you will take it to your father. Thus he will eat it and bless you before he dies."
11 "But Esau my brother is a hairy man," Jacob protested to his mother Rebekah, "and I have smooth skin!
12 My father may touch me! Then he'll think I'm mocking him and I'll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing."
13 So his mother told him, "Any curse against you will fall on me, my son! Just obey me! Go and get them for me!"
14 So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother. She prepared some tasty food, just the way his father loved it.
15 Then Rebekah took her older son Esau's best clothes, which she had with her in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
17 Then she handed the tasty food and the bread she had made to her son Jacob.
18 He went to his father and said, "My father!" Isaac replied, "Here I am. Which are you, my son?"
19 Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau, your firstborn. I've done as you told me. Now sit up and eat some of my wild game so that you can bless me."
20 But Isaac asked his son, "How in the world did you find it so quickly, my son?" "Because the LORD your God brought it to me," he replied.
21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come closer so I can touch you, my son, and know for certain if you really are my son Esau."
22 So Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's, but the hands are Esau's."
23 He did not recognize him because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's hands. So Isaac blessed Jacob.
24 Then he asked, "Are you really my son Esau?" "I am," Jacob replied.
25 Isaac said, "Bring some of the wild game for me to eat, my son. Then I will bless you." So Jacob brought it to him, and he ate it. He also brought him wine, and Isaac drank.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come here and kiss me, my son."
27 So Jacob went over and kissed him. When Isaac caught the scent of his clothing, he blessed him, saying, "Yes, my son smells like the scent of an open field which the LORD has blessed.
28 May God give you the dew of the sky and the richness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
29 May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. You will be lord over your brothers, and the sons of your mother will bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed."
30 Isaac had just finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely left his father's presence, when his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
31 He also prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Esau said to him, "My father, get up and eat some of your son's wild game. Then you can bless me."
32 His father Isaac asked, "Who are you?" "I am your firstborn son," he replied, "Esau!"
33 Isaac began to shake violently and asked, "Then who else hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it just before you arrived, and I blessed him. He will indeed be blessed!"
34 When Esau heard his father's words, he wailed loudly and bitterly. He said to his father, "Bless me too, my father!"
35 But Isaac replied, "Your brother came in here deceitfully and took away your blessing."
36 Esau exclaimed, "'Jacob' is the right name for him! He has tripped me up two times! He took away my birthright, and now, look, he has taken away my blessing!" Then he asked, "Have you not kept back a blessing for me?"
37 Isaac replied to Esau, "Look! I have made him lord over you. I have made all his relatives his servants and provided him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?"
38 Esau said to his father, "Do you have only that one blessing, my father? Bless me too!" Then Esau wept loudly.
39 So his father Isaac said to him, "Indeed, your home will be away from the richness of the earth, and away from the dew of the sky above.
40 You will live by your sword but you will serve your brother. When you grow restless, you will tear off his yoke from your neck."
41 So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing his father had given to his brother. Esau said privately, "The time of mourning for my father is near; then I will kill my brother Jacob!"
42 When Rebekah heard what her older son Esau had said, she quickly summoned her younger son Jacob and told him, "Look, your brother Esau is planning to get revenge by killing you.
43 Now then, my son, do what I say. Run away immediately to my brother Laban in Haran.
44 Live with him for a little while until your brother's rage subsides.
45 Stay there until your brother's anger against you subsides and he forgets what you did to him. Then I'll send someone to bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?"
46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am deeply depressed because of these daughters of Heth. If Jacob were to marry one of these daughters of Heth who live in this land, I would want to die!"
1 And it came to pass, H1961 that H3588 when Isaac H3327 was old, H2204 and his eyes H5869 were dim, H3543 so that he could not see H4480 H7200 , he called H7121 H853 Esau H6215 his eldest H1419 son, H1121 and said H559 unto H413 him , My son: H1121 and he said H559 unto H413 him, Behold, H2009 here am I.
2 And he said, H559 Behold H2009 now, H4994 I am old, H2204 I know H3045 not H3808 the day H3117 of my death: H4194
3 Now H6258 therefore take, H5375 I pray thee, H4994 thy weapons, H3627 thy quiver H8522 and thy bow, H7198 and go out H3318 to the field, H7704 and take H6679 me some venison; H6718
4 And make H6213 me savory meat, H4303 such as H834 I love, H157 and bring H935 it to me , that I may eat; H398 that H5668 my soul H5315 may bless H1288 thee before H2962 I die. H4191
5 And Rebekah H7259 heard H8085 when Isaac H3327 spoke H1696 to H413 Esau H6215 his son. H1121 And Esau H6215 went H1980 to the field H7704 to hunt H6679 for venison, H6718 and to bring H935 it .
6 And Rebekah H7259 spoke H559 unto H413 Jacob H3290 her son, H1121 saying, H559 Behold, H2009 I heard H8085 H853 thy father H1 speak H1696 unto H413 Esau H6215 thy brother, H251 saying, H559
7 Bring H935 me venison, H6718 and make H6213 me savory meat, H4303 that I may eat, H398 and bless H1288 thee before H6440 the LORD H3068 before H6440 my death. H4194
8 Now H6258 therefore , my son, H1121 obey H8085 my voice H6963 according to that which H834 I H589 command H6680 thee.
9 Go H1980 now H4994 to H413 the flock, H6629 and fetch H3947 me from thence H4480 H8033 two H8147 good H2896 kids H1423 of the goats; H5795 and I will make H6213 them savory meat H4303 for thy father, H1 such as H834 he loveth: H157
10 And thou shalt bring H935 it to thy father, H1 that he may eat, H398 and that H5668 H834 he may bless H1288 thee before H6440 his death. H4194
11 And Jacob H3290 said H559 to H413 Rebekah H7259 his mother, H517 Behold, H2005 Esau H6215 my brother H251 is a hairy H8163 man, H376 and I H595 am a smooth H2509 man: H376
12 My father H1 peradventure H194 will feel H4959 me , and I shall seem H1961 to him H5869 as a deceiver; H8591 and I shall bring H935 a curse H7045 upon H5921 me , and not H3808 a blessing. H1293
13 And his mother H517 said H559 unto him, Upon H5921 me be thy curse, H7045 my son: H1121 only H389 obey H8085 my voice, H6963 and go H1980 fetch H3947 me them .
14 And he went, H1980 and fetched, H3947 and brought H935 them to his mother: H517 and his mother H517 made H6213 savory meat, H4303 such as H834 his father H1 loved. H157
15 And Rebekah H7259 took H3947 H853 goodly H2530 raiment H899 of her eldest H1419 son H1121 Esau, H6215 which H834 were with H854 her in the house, H1004 and put them upon H3847 H853 Jacob H3290 her younger H6996 son: H1121
16 And she put H3847 the skins H5785 of the kids H1423 of the goats H5795 upon H5921 his hands, H3027 and upon H5921 the smooth H2513 of his neck: H6677
17 And she gave H5414 H853 the savory meat H4303 and the bread, H3899 which H834 she had prepared, H6213 into the hand H3027 of her son H1121 Jacob. H3290
18 And he came H935 unto H413 his father, H1 and said, H559 My father: H1 and he said, H559 Here H2009 am I; who H4310 art thou, H859 my son H1121 ?
19 And Jacob H3290 said H559 unto H413 his father, H1 I H595 am Esau H6215 thy firstborn; H1060 I have done H6213 according as H834 thou biddest H1696 H413 me: arise, H6965 I pray thee, H4994 sit H3427 and eat H398 of my venison H4480 H6718 , that H5668 thy soul H5315 may bless H1288 me.
20 And Isaac H3327 said H559 unto H413 his son, H1121 How H4100 is it H2088 that thou hast found H4672 it so quickly, H4116 my son H1121 ? And he said, H559 Because H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 brought H7136 it to H6440 me.
21 And Isaac H3327 said H559 unto H413 Jacob, H3290 Come near, H5066 I pray thee, H4994 that I may feel H4184 thee , my son, H1121 whether thou H859 be my very H2088 son H1121 Esau H6215 or H518 not. H3808
22 And Jacob H3290 went near H5066 unto H413 Isaac H3327 his father; H1 and he felt H4959 him , and said, H559 The voice H6963 is Jacob's H3290 voice, H6963 but the hands H3027 are the hands H3027 of Esau. H6215
23 And he discerned H5234 him not, H3808 because H3588 his hands H3027 were H1961 hairy, H8163 as his brother H251 Esau's H6215 hands: H3027 so he blessed H1288 him.
24 And he said, H559 Art thou H859 my very H2088 son H1121 Esau H6215 ? And he said, H559 I H589 am .
25 And he said, H559 Bring it near H5066 to me , and I will eat H398 of my son's H1121 venison H4480 H6718 , that H4616 my soul H5315 may bless H1288 thee . And he brought it near H5066 to him , and he did eat: H398 and he brought H935 him wine, H3196 and he drank. H8354
26 And his father H1 Isaac H3327 said H559 unto H413 him , Come near H5066 now, H4994 and kiss H5401 me , my son. H1121
27 And he came near, H5066 and kissed H5401 him : and he smelled H7306 H853 the smell H7381 of his raiment, H899 and blessed H1288 him , and said, H559 See, H7200 the smell H7381 of my son H1121 is as the smell H7381 of a field H7704 which H834 the LORD H3068 hath blessed: H1288
28 Therefore God H430 give H5414 thee of the dew H4480 H2919 of heaven, H8064 and the fatness H4924 of the earth, H776 and plenty H7230 of corn H1715 and wine: H8492
29 Let people H5971 serve H5647 thee , and nations H3816 bow down H7812 to thee: be H1933 lord H1376 over thy brethren, H251 and let thy mother's H517 sons H1121 bow down H7812 to thee: cursed H779 be every one that curseth H779 thee , and blessed H1288 be he that blesseth H1288 thee.
30 And it came to pass, H1961 as soon as H834 Isaac H3327 had made an end H3615 of blessing H1288 H853 Jacob, H3290 and Jacob H3290 was H1961 yet H389 scarce gone out H3318 H3318 from H4480 H854 the presence H6440 of Isaac H3327 his father, H1 that Esau H6215 his brother H251 came in H935 from his hunting H4480 H6718 .
31 And he H1931 also H1571 had made H6213 savory meat, H4303 and brought H935 it unto his father, H1 and said H559 unto his father, H1 Let my father H1 arise, H6965 and eat H398 of his son's H1121 venison H4480 H6718 , that H5668 thy soul H5315 may bless H1288 me.
32 And Isaac H3327 his father H1 said H559 unto him, Who H4310 art thou H859 ? And he said, H559 I H589 am thy son, H1121 thy firstborn H1060 Esau. H6215
33 And Isaac H3327 trembled H2729 very exceedingly H2731 H1419 H5704 , H3966 and said, H559 Who H4310 ? where H645 is he H1931 that hath taken H6679 venison, H6718 and brought H935 it me , and I have eaten H398 of all H4480 H3605 before H2962 thou camest, H935 and have blessed H1288 him? yea, H1571 and he shall be H1961 blessed. H1288
34 And when Esau H6215 heard H8085 H853 the words H1697 of his father, H1 he cried H6817 with a great H1419 and H5704 exceeding H3966 bitter H4751 cry, H6818 and said H559 unto his father, H1 Bless H1288 me, even me H589 also, H1571 O my father. H1
35 And he said, H559 Thy brother H251 came H935 with subtlety, H4820 and hath taken away H3947 thy blessing. H1293
36 And he said, H559 Is not he rightly H3588 named H7121 H8034 Jacob H3290 ? for he hath supplanted H6117 me these H2088 two times: H6471 he took away H3947 H853 my birthright; H1062 and, behold, H2009 now H6258 he hath taken away H3947 my blessing. H1293 And he said, H559 Hast thou not H3808 reserved H680 a blessing H1293 for me?
37 And Isaac H3327 answered H6030 and said H559 unto Esau, H6215 Behold, H2005 I have made H7760 him thy lord, H1376 and all H3605 his brethren H251 have I given H5414 to him for servants; H5650 and with corn H1715 and wine H8492 have I sustained H5564 him : and what H4100 shall I do H6213 now H645 unto thee , my son H1121 ?
38 And Esau H6215 said H559 unto H413 his father, H1 Hast thou but one H259 blessing, H1293 my father H1 ? bless H1288 me, even me H589 also, H1571 O my father. H1 And Esau H6215 lifted up H5375 his voice, H6963 and wept. H1058
39 And Isaac H3327 his father H1 answered H6030 and said H559 unto H413 him, Behold, H2009 thy dwelling H4186 shall be H1961 the fatness H4480 H4924 of the earth, H776 and of the dew H4480 H2919 of heaven H8064 from above H4480 H5920 ;
40 And by H5921 thy sword H2719 shalt thou live, H2421 and shalt serve H5647 thy brother; H251 and it shall come to pass H1961 when H834 thou shalt have the dominion, H7300 that thou shalt break H6561 his yoke H5923 from off H4480 H5921 thy neck. H6677
41 And Esau H6215 hated H7852 H853 Jacob H3290 because of H5921 the blessing H1293 wherewith H834 his father H1 blessed H1288 him : and Esau H6215 said H559 in his heart, H3820 The days H3117 of mourning H60 for my father H1 are at hand; H7126 then will I slay H2026 H853 my brother H251 Jacob. H3290
42 And H853 these words H1697 of Esau H6215 her elder H1419 son H1121 were told H5046 to Rebekah: H7259 and she sent H7971 and called H7121 Jacob H3290 her younger H6996 son, H1121 and said H559 unto H413 him, Behold, H2009 thy brother H251 Esau, H6215 as touching thee , doth comfort himself, H5162 purposing to kill H2026 thee.
43 Now H6258 therefore , my son, H1121 obey H8085 my voice; H6963 and arise, H6965 flee H1272 thou to H413 Laban H3837 my brother H251 to Haran; H2771
44 And tarry H3427 with H5973 him a few H259 days, H3117 until H5704 H834 thy brother's H251 fury H2534 turn away; H7725
45 Until H5704 thy brother's H251 anger H639 turn away H7725 from H4480 thee , and he forget H7911 H853 that which H834 thou hast done H6213 to him : then I will send, H7971 and fetch H3947 thee from thence H4480 H8033 : why H4100 should I be deprived H7921 also H1571 of you both H8147 in one H259 day H3117 ?
46 And Rebekah H7259 said H559 to H413 Isaac, H3327 I am weary H6973 of my life H2416 because H4480 H6440 of the daughters H1323 of Heth: H2845 if H518 Jacob H3290 take H3947 a wife H802 of the daughters H4480 H1323 of Heth, H2845 such as these H428 which are of the daughters H4480 H1323 of the land, H776 what good H4100 shall my life H2416 do me?
