2	And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;

3	and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,

4	and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee before I die.`

5	And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision -- to bring in;

6	and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, `Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,

7	Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.

8	`And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:

9	Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;

13	and his mother saith to him, `On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.`

15	and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;

16	and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,

17	and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.

18	And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, `My father;` and he saith, `Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?`

22	And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, `The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.`

23	And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,

24	and saith, `Thou art he -- my son Esau?` and he saith, `I [am].`

26	And Isaac his father saith to him, `Come nigh, I pray thee, and kiss me, my son;`

27	and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, `See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah hath blessed;

28	and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine;

29	peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.`

30	And it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come in from his hunting;

31	and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, `Let my father arise, and eat of his son's provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.`

34	When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, `Bless me, me also, O my father;`

35	and he saith, `Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh thy blessing.`

36	And he saith, `Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;` he saith also, `Hast thou not kept back a blessing for me?`

37	And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, `Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, my son?`

39	And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, `Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from above;

43	and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,

44	and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back,

45	till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same day?`
