5 And Rebekah heard when Iſaac ſpake to Eſau his ſon. And Eſau went to the field to hunt for veniſon, and to bring it.
6 ¶ And Rebekah ſpake unto Jacob her ſon, ſaying, Behold, I heard thy father ſpeak unto Eſau thy brother, ſaying,
7 Bring me veniſon, and make me ſavoury meat, that I may eat, and bleſs thee before the LORD before my death.
8 Now therefore, my ſon, [1] obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them [2] ſavoury meat for thy father, ſuch as he loveth:
10 And thou ſhalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he [3] may bleſs thee before his death.
11 And Jacob ſaid to Rebekah his mother, Behold, [4] Eſau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a ſmooth man:
12 My father peradventure will [5] feel me, and I ſhall ſeem to him as a deceiver; and I ſhall bring [6] a curſe upon me, and not a bleſſing.
13 And his mother ſaid unto him, [7] Upon me be thy curſe, my ſon: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother [8] made ſavoury meat, ſuch as his father loved.
15 And Rebekah took †† Heb. deſirable. [9] goodly raiment of her eldeſt ſon Eſau, which were with her in the houſe, and put them upon Jacob her younger ſon:
16 And ſhe put the ſkins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the ſmooth of his neck:
17 And ſhe gave the ſavoury meat and the bread, which ſhe had prepared, into the hand of her ſon Jacob.
18 ¶ And he came unto his father, and ſaid, My father: and he ſaid, Here am I; who art thou, my ſon?
19 And Jacob ſaid unto his father, I am Eſau thy firſtborn; I have done according as thou badeſt me: ariſe, I pray thee, ſit and eat of my veniſon, [10] that thy ſoul may bleſs me.
20 And Iſaac ſaid unto his ſon, How is it that thou haſt found it ſo quickly, my ſon? And he ſaid, Becauſe the LORD thy God brought it †† Heb. before me. to me.
21 And Iſaac ſaid unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I [11] may feel thee, my ſon, whether thou be my very ſon Eſau or not.
22 And Jacob went near unto Iſaac his father; and he felt him, and ſaid, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Eſau.
23 And he diſcerned him not, becauſe [12] his hands were hairy, as his brother Eſau's hands: ſo he bleſſed him.
24 And he ſaid, Art thou my very ſon Eſau? And he ſaid, I am.
25 And he ſaid, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my ſon's veniſon, [13] that my ſoul may bleſs thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 And his father Iſaac ſaid unto him, Come near now, and kiſs me, my ſon.
27 And he came near, and kiſſed him: and he ſmelled the ſmell of his raiment, and bleſſed him, and ſaid, See, [14] the ſmell of my ſon is as the ſmell of a field which the LORD hath bleſſed:
28 Therefore [15] God give thee of [16] the dew of heaven, and [17] the fatneſs of the earth, and [18] plenty of corn and wine:
29 [19] Let people ſerve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and [20] let thy mother's ſons bow down to thee: [21] curſed be every one that curſeth thee, and bleſſed be he that bleſſeth thee.
30 ¶ And it came to paſs, as ſoon as Iſaac had made an end of blesſing Jacob, and Jacob was yet ſcarce gone out from the preſence of Iſaac his father, that Eſau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 And he alſo had made ſavoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and ſaid unto his father, Let my father ariſe, and [22] eat of his ſon's veniſon, that thy ſoul may bleſs me.
32 And Iſaac his father ſaid unto him, Who art thou? And he ſaid, I am thy ſon, thy firſtborn Eſau.
33 And Iſaac †† Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly. trembled very exceedingly, and ſaid, Who? where is he that hath †† Heb. bunted. taken veniſon, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou cameſt, and have bleſſed him? yea, [23] and he ſhall be bleſſed.
34 ¶ And when Eſau heard the words of his father, [24] he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and ſaid unto his father, Bleſs me, even me alſo, O my father.
35 And he ſaid, Thy brother came with ſubtilty, and hath taken away thy bleſſing.
36 And he ſaid, [25] Is not he rightly named ‖‖ That is, a ſupplanter. Jacob? for he hath ſupplanted me theſe two times: [26] he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my bleſſing. And he ſaid, Haſt thou not reſerved a bleſſing for me?
37 And Iſaac anſwered and ſaid unto Eſau, [27] Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for ſervants; and [28] with corn and wine have I ‖‖ Or ſupported. ſuſtained him: and what ſhall I do now unto thee, my ſon?
