Genesis 27

Jacob's Deception

1

Now it cameh1961 about, whenh3588 Isaach3327 was oldh2204 and  ahis eyesh5869 were tooh4480 dimh3543a to seeh7200, that he calledh7121 his  bolderh1419 sonh1121 Esauh6215 and saidh559 to him, "My sonh1121." And he saidh559 to him, "Hereh2009 I am."

2

 1 aIsaac saidh559, "Beholdh2009 nowh4994, I amh2204 oldh2204 and I do not knowh3045 the dayh3117 of my deathh4194.

3

"Nowh6258 then, pleaseh4994 takeh5375 your gearh3627, your quiverh8522 and your bowh7198, and goh3318 out to the fieldh7704 and  ahunth6679 gameh6718a for me;

4

and prepareh6213a a savoryh4303 dishh4303 for me suchh3512c as I loveh157, and bringh935 it to me that I may eath398, soh5668 that  amy soulh5315 may blessh1288 you beforeh2962 I dieh4191."

5

Rebekahh7259 was listeningh8085 while Isaach3327 spokeh1696 to his sonh1121 Esauh6215. So when Esauh6215 wenth1980 to the fieldh7704 to hunth6679 for gameh6718a to bringh935 home,

6

 aRebekahh7259 saidh559 to her sonh1121 Jacobh3290, "Beholdh2009, I heardh8085 your fatherh1 speakh1696 to your brotherh251 Esauh6215, sayingh559,

7

`Bringh935 me some gameh6718a and prepareh6213a a savoryh4303 dishh4303 for me, that I may eath398, and blessh1288 you in the presenceh6440 of the LORDh3068 beforeh6440 my deathh4194.'

8

"Nowh6258 therefore, my sonh1121,  alistenh8085 to  1me  2as I commandh6680 you.

9

"Goh1980 nowh4994 to the flockh6629 and  1bringh3947 me twoh8147 choiceh2896a  2youngh1423h5795 goatsh1423h5795 from thereh8033, that I may prepareh6213a them as a savoryh4303 dishh4303 for your fatherh1, suchh3512c as he lovesh157.

10

"Then you shall bringh935 it to your fatherh1, that he may eath398, soh5668 that he may blessh1288 you beforeh6440 his deathh4194."

11

Jacobh3290  1answeredh559 his motherh517 Rebekahh7259, "Beholdh2005, Esauh6215 my brotherh251 is a  ahairyh8163a manh376 and I am a smoothh2509 manh376.

12

aPerhapsh194 my fatherh1 will feelh4959 me, then I will be as a  1deceiverh8591a in his sighth5869, and I will bringh935 upon myself a curseh7045 and not a blessingh1293."

13

But his motherh517 saidh559 to him, "Your curseh7045 be on me, my sonh1121; onlyh389  aobeyh8085 my voiceh6963, and goh1980, geth3947 them for me."

14

So he wenth1980 and goth3947 them, and broughth935 them to his motherh517; and his motherh517 madeh6213a savoryh4303 foodh4303 suchh3512c as his fatherh1 lovedh157.

15

Then Rebekahh7259 tookh3947 the  1besth2536b  agarmentsh899b of Esauh6215 her elderh1419 sonh1121, whichh834 were with her in the househ1004, and puth3847 them on Jacobh3290 her youngerh6996a sonh1121.

16

And she puth3847 the skinsh5785 of the  1youngh1423h5795 goatsh1423h5795 on his handsh3027 and on the smoothh2513b parth2513b of his neckh6677.

17

She also gaveh5414 the savoryh4303 foodh4303 and the breadh3899, whichh834 she had madeh6213a,  1to her sonh1121 Jacobh3290.

18

Then he cameh935 to his fatherh1 and saidh559, "My fatherh1." And he saidh559, "Hereh2009 I am. Whoh4310 are you, my sonh1121?"

19

Jacobh3290 saidh559 to his fatherh1, "I am Esauh6215 your firstbornh1060; I have doneh6213a as you toldh1696 me.  aGeth6965 up, pleaseh4994, sith3427 and eath398 of my gameh6718a, that  1 byou may blessh1288 me."

20

Isaach3327 saidh559 to his sonh1121, "Howh4100 is it that you haveh4672 it so quicklyh4116, my sonh1121?" And he saidh559, " aBecauseh3588 the LORDh3068 your Godh430 caused it to happenh7136a to me."

21

Then Isaach3327 saidh559 to Jacobh3290, "Pleaseh4994 comeh5066 closeh5066, that  aI may feelh4184 you, my sonh1121, whether you are reallyh2088 my sonh1121 Esauh6215 orh518 not."

22

So Jacobh3290 cameh5066 closeh5066 to Isaach3327 his fatherh1, and he felth4959 him and saidh559, "The voiceh6963 is the voiceh6963 of Jacobh3290, but the handsh3027 are the handsh3027 of Esauh6215."

23

He did not recognizeh5234 him, becauseh3588 his handsh3027 were  ahairyh8163a like his brotherh251 Esau'sh6215 handsh3027; so he blessedh1288 him.

24

And he saidh559, "Are you reallyh2088 my sonh1121 Esauh6215?" And he saidh559, "I am."

25

So he saidh559, "Bringh5066 it to me, and I will eath398 of my son'sh1121 gameh6718a, that  1 aI may blessh1288 you." And he broughth5066 it to him, and he ateh398; he also broughth935 him wineh3196 and he drankh8354.

26

Then his fatherh1 Isaach3327 saidh559 to him, "Pleaseh4994 comeh5066 closeh5066 and kissh5401a me, my sonh1121."

27

So he cameh5066 closeh5066 and kissedh5401a him; and when he smelledh7381a the smellh7381b of his garmentsh899b, he  ablessedh1288 him and saidh559, "Seeh7200,  bthe smellh7381b of my sonh1121 Is like the smellh7381b of a fieldh7704  cwhichh834 the LORDh3068 has blessedh1288;

28

Now may  aGodh430 giveh5414 you of the dewh2919 of heavenh8064, And of the  bfatnessh8082b of the earthh776, And an abundanceh7230 of grainh1715 and newh8492 wineh8492;

29

 aMay peoplesh5971a serveh5647 you, And nationsh3816 bowh7812 downh7812 to you;  bBe masterh1376 of your brothersh251,  cAnd may your mother'sh517 sonsh1121 bowh7812 downh7812 to you.  dCursedh779 be those who curseh779 you, And blessedh1288 be those who blessh1288 you."

The Stolen Blessing

30

Now it cameh1961 about, as soonh3512c as Isaach3327 had finishedh3615 blessingh1288 Jacobh3290, and Jacobh3290 had hardlyh389h3318 goneh3318 out from the presenceh6440 of Isaach3327 his fatherh1, that Esauh6215 his brotherh251 cameh935 in from his huntingh6718a.

31

Then he alsoh1571 madeh6213a savoryh4303 foodh4303, and broughth935 it to his fatherh1; and he saidh559 to his fatherh1, " aLet my fatherh1 ariseh6965 and eath398 of his son'sh1121 gameh6718a, that  1 byou may blessh1288 me."

32

Isaach3327 his fatherh1 saidh559 to him, " aWhoh4310 are you?" And he saidh559, "I am your sonh1121,  byour firstbornh1060, Esauh6215."

33

Then Isaach3327  1trembledh2729 violentlyh2731h1419h5704h3966, and saidh559, " aWhoh4310 was he thenh645 that huntedh6679 gameh6718a and broughth935 it to me, so that I ateh398 of allh3605 of it beforeh2962 you cameh935, and blessedh1288 him?  bYesh1571, and he shall be blessedh1288."

34

When Esauh6215 heardh8085 the wordsh1697 of his fatherh1,  ahe criedh6817 out with an exceedinglyh3966 greath1419 and bitterh4751 cryh6818, and saidh559 to his fatherh1, "Blessh1288 me, even me alsoh1571, O my fatherh1!"

35

And he saidh559, " aYour brotherh251 cameh935 deceitfullyh4820 and has takenh3947 away your blessingh1293."

36

Then he saidh559, " 1Is he not rightly namedh7121h8034  aJacobh3290, for he has supplantedh6117 me theseh2088 twoh6471 timesh6471? He tookh3947 away my birthrighth1062, and beholdh2009, nowh6258 he has takenh3947 away my blessingh1293." And he saidh559, "Have you not reservedh680 a blessingh1293 for me?"

37

But Isaach3327 repliedh6030a to Esauh6215, "Beholdh2005, I have madeh7760 him  ayour masterh1376, and allh3605 his  1relativesh251 I have givenh5414 to him  2as servantsh5650; and with grainh1715 and newh8492 wineh8492 I have sustainedh5564 him. Now as for you thenh645, whath4100 can I doh6213a, my sonh1121?"

38

Esauh6215 saidh559 to his fatherh1, "Do you have only oneh259 blessingh1293, my fatherh1? Blessh1288 me, even me alsoh1571, O my fatherh1." So Esauh6215 liftedh5375 his voiceh6963 and  awepth1058.

39

Then  aIsaach3327 his fatherh1 answeredh6030a and saidh559 to him, "Beholdh2009,  1 baway from the  2fertilityh8082b of the earthh776 shall be your dwellingh4186, And  1away from the dewh2919 of heavenh8064 from aboveh5921.

40

"By your swordh2719 you shall liveh2421a, And your brotherh251  ayou shall serveh5647; But it shall comeh1961 about  bwhenh3512c you becomeh7300 restlessh7300, That you will  1breakh6561 his yokeh5923 from your neckh6677."

41

So Esauh6215  aboreh7852 a grudgeh7852 againsth7852 Jacobh3290 becauseh5921 of the blessingh1293 with whichh834 his fatherh1 had blessedh1288 him; and Esauh6215 saidh559  1to himselfh3820, " bThe daysh3117 of mourningh60 for my fatherh1 are nearh7126; then I will killh2026 my brotherh251 Jacobh3290."

42

Now when the wordsh1697 of her elderh1419 sonh1121 Esauh6215 were reportedh5046 to Rebekahh7259, she senth7971 and calledh7121 her youngerh6996a sonh1121 Jacobh3290, and saidh559 to him, "Beholdh2009 your brotherh251 Esauh6215 is consolingh5162 himself concerning you by planning to killh2026 you.

43

"Nowh6258 therefore, my sonh1121,  aobeyh8085 my voiceh6963, and ariseh6965,  1fleeh1272 to  bHaranh2771a, to my brotherh251  cLabanh3837a!

44

"Stayh3427 with him  aa fewh259 daysh3117, untilh5704h834 your brother'sh251 furyh2534  1subsidesh7725,

45

untilh5704 your brother'sh251 angerh639  1againsth4480 you subsidesh7725 and he forgetsh7911  awhath834 you didh6213a to him. Then I will sendh7971 and geth3947 you from thereh8033. Whyh4100 should I be bereavedh7921 of you bothh8147 in oneh259 dayh3117?"

46

Rebekahh7259 saidh559 to Isaach3327, "I am tiredh6973 of  1livingh2425b becauseh4480h6440 of  athe daughtersh1323 of Hethh2845;  bifh518 Jacobh3290 takesh3947 a wifeh802 from the daughtersh1323 of Hethh2845, like theseh428, from the daughtersh1323 of the landh776, whath4100 good will my lifeh2425b be to me?"
