    Genesis 27

    1 Eventually, Isaac grew so old that he could not see. a27:1 Lit. that his eyes were dim One day, he called his eldest son Esau. “My son,” he called out to him.ISV — Genesis 27:1

    2 “Look how old I am! I could die any day now, b27:2 Lit. I don’t know the day of my deathISV — Genesis 27:2

    3 so go find your weapons, take your bow and arrows, go outside, and hunt some game for me.ISV — Genesis 27:3

    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.”ISV — Genesis 27:4

    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,ISV — Genesis 27:5

    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,ISV — Genesis 27:6

    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.’ISV — Genesis 27:7

    8 So now, my son, listen to what I have to say and pay attention to what I’m about to tell you.ISV — Genesis 27:8

    9 Go to the flock and bring me two healthy young goats. I’ll prepare some delicious food for your father, just the way he loves it.ISV — Genesis 27:9

    10 Then you are to take it to your father so that he can eat and bless you before he dies.”ISV — Genesis 27:10

    11 “But look!” Jacob pointed out to his mother Rebekah, “My brother Esau is a hairy man, but I’m smooth skinned.ISV — Genesis 27:11

    12 My father might touch me and he’ll realize that I’m deceiving him. Then, I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.”ISV — Genesis 27:12

    13 “My son,” she replied, “let any curse against you fall on me. Just listen to me, then go and get them for me.”ISV — Genesis 27:13

    14 So out he went, got them, and brought them to his mother, who then prepared some delicious food, just the way his father liked it.ISV — Genesis 27:14

    15 Then Rebekah took some garments that belonged to her elder son Esau—the best ones available—and put them on her younger son Jacob.ISV — Genesis 27:15

    16 She put some goat skins over his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.ISV — Genesis 27:16

    17 Then she handed the delicious food and bread that she had prepared to her son Jacob,ISV — Genesis 27:17

    18 who went to his father and said, “My father…” “It’s me!” he replied. “Which one are you, my son?”ISV — Genesis 27:18

    19 “I’m Esau, your firstborn!” Jacob told his father. “I’ve done what you asked, so please sit up and eat what I caught, so you can bless me.”ISV — Genesis 27:19

    20 “How did you get it so quickly, my son?” Isaac asked. Jacob c27:20 Lit. He responded, “…because the LORD your God made me successful.”ISV — Genesis 27:20

    21 So Isaac told Jacob, “Come here, my son, so I can feel you and know for sure whether or not you’re my son Esau.”ISV — Genesis 27:21

    22 So Jacob approached his father, who felt him and said, “It’s Jacob’s voice, but Esau’s hands.”ISV — Genesis 27:22

    23 He didn’t recognize Jacob, d27:23 Lit. him because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau, so Isaac e27:23 Lit. he blessed him.ISV — Genesis 27:23

    24 He asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” “I am,” Jacob f27:24 Lit. he replied.ISV — Genesis 27:24

    25 “Come closer to me,” Isaac replied, “so I can eat some of the game, my son, and then bless you.” So Jacob came closer, and Isaac ate. Jacob also brought wine so his father g27:25 Lit. so he could drink.ISV — Genesis 27:25

    26 After this, Jacob’s father Isaac told him, “Come closer and kiss me, my son.”ISV — Genesis 27:26

    27 So Jacob h27:27 Lit. he drew closer to kiss him. When Isaac i27:27 Lit. he smelled the scent of his son’s j27:27 The Heb. lacks son’s clothes, he blessed him and said, “How my son’s scent is the fragrance of the field that the LORD has blessed.ISV — Genesis 27:27

    28 May the LORD grant you dew from the skies, k27:28 Or from heaven and from the fertile land; may he grant you l27:28 The Heb. lacks may he grant you abundant grain and fresh wine.ISV — Genesis 27:28

    29 May people serve and bow before you; may you be master over your brothers; may your mother’s sons bow before you; may anyone who curses you be cursed; and may anyone who blesses you be blessed.”ISV — Genesis 27:29

    30 Just after Isaac had finished blessing Jacob and Jacob had left his father Isaac, Jacob’s m27:30 Lit. his brother Esau returned from hunting,ISV — Genesis 27:30

    31 prepared some delicious food, brought it to his father, and told him, “Can you get up now, father, so you may eat some of your son’s game and then bless me?”ISV — Genesis 27:31

    32 But his father Isaac asked him, “Who are you?” “I’m Esau, your firstborn son,” he answeredISV — Genesis 27:32

    33 At this, Isaac began to tremble violently. “Who then,” he asked, “hunted some game and brought it to me to eat before you arrived, so that I’ve blessed him? Indeed, he is blessed.”ISV — Genesis 27:33

    34 When Esau realized n27:34 Lit. heard what his father Isaac was saying, he began to wail out loud bitterly. “Bless me,” he cried, “even me, too, my father!”ISV — Genesis 27:34

    35 Isaac o27:35 Lit. Then he replied, “Your brother came here deceitfully and stole your blessing.”ISV — Genesis 27:35

    36 Then he said, “Isn’t his name rightly called Jacob?” p27:36 The Heb. name Jacob means heel grabber Esau asked. “He has circumvented me this second time. First, q27:36 The Heb. lacks First he took away my birthright, and now, look how he also stole my blessing.” Then he added, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”ISV — Genesis 27:36

    37 In response, Isaac told Esau, “Look! I’ve predicted that he’s going r27:37 Lit. I’ve set him to become your master, and I’ve assigned all his brothers to be his servants. What then can I do for you, my son?”ISV — Genesis 27:37

    38 Then Esau implored his father, “Don’t you have even one blessing for me, my father? Bless me, even me too, my father!” Then Esau lifted his voice and wept bitterly.ISV — Genesis 27:38

    39 At this, his father Isaac replied to him, “Look! Away from the fertile land will be your dwellings; away from the dew of the skies above.ISV — Genesis 27:39

    40 By your sword you’ll live; but you’ll serve your brother. But when you’ve become restless, you’ll break off his yoke from your neck.”ISV — Genesis 27:40

    41 So Esau harbored animosity toward Jacob because of the way his father had blessed him. Esau kept saying to himself, s27:41 Lit. saying in his heart “The time t27:41 Lit. days to mourn for my father is very near. That’s when I’m going to kill my brother Jacob.”ISV — Genesis 27:41

    42 Eventually, what Rebekah’s older son Esau had been saying was reported to her, so she sent for her younger son Jacob and warned him, “Look! Your brother is planning to get even by killing you. u27:42 Lit. is comforting himself concerning you to kill youISV — Genesis 27:42

    43 Son, you’d better do what I say! Get up, run off to my brother Laban in Haran,ISV — Genesis 27:43

    45 After that happens w27 :45 Lit. After your brother’s anger subsides and he has forgotten what you’ve done to him, I’ll send for you so you can return from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”ISV — Genesis 27:45

    46 Rebekah also told herself, x27:46 The Heb. lacks herself “Heth’s daughters are making me tired of living. If Jacob marries one of Heth’s daughters, and she turns out to be just like these other local women, y27:46 Lit. these daughters what kind of life would there be left for me?”ISV — Genesis 27:46
