Ask a QuestionIsaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?"
Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me,
and prepare for me delicious food, such as I love, and bring it to me so that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die."
'Bring me game and prepare for me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you before the Lord before I die.'
Go to the flock and bring me two good young goats, so that I may prepare from them delicious food for your father, such as he loves.
And you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies."
Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him and bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing."
His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, bring them to me."
Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me."
But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He answered, "Because the Lord your God granted me success."
Then he said, "Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you." So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near and kiss me, my son."
He also prepared delicious food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me."
Then Isaac trembled very violently and said, "Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed."
As soon as Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father!"
Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"
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.
Then Isaac his father answered and said to him: "Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be,and away from the dew of heaven on high.
By your sword you shall live,and you shall serve your brother;but when you grow restlessyou shall break his yoke from your neck."
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, "I loathe my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women like these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?"
