Genesis 27:6-35

Genesis 27:6-35

[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,  obey  my voice  according to that which  I command  [9] now to the flock,  and fetch  me from thence two  good  kids  of the goats;  and I will make  them 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 may bless  thee before  his death.  [11] And Jacob  said  to Rebekah  his mother,  Behold, Esau  my brother  is a hairy  man,  and I am a smooth  man:  [12] My father  peradventure will feel  me, and I shall seem  to him as a deceiver;  and I shall bring  a curse  upon me, and not a blessing.  [13] And his mother  said  unto him, Upon me be thy curse,  my son:  only obey  my voice,  fetch  me them. [14] and fetched,  and brought  them to his mother:  made  savoury meat,  such as his father  loved.  [15] And Rebekah  took  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,  that thy soul  may bless  [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 to me.  [21] And Isaac  said  unto Jacob,  Come near,  I pray thee, that I may feel  thee, my son,  whether thou be my very  son  Esau  [22] And Jacob  went near  unto Isaac  his father;  and he felt  him, and said,  The voice  is Jacob's  voice,  but the hands  of Esau.  [23] And he discerned  him not, because his hands  were hairy,  as his brother  Esau's  hands:  so he blessed  [24] And he said,  Art thou my very son  Esau?  And he said,  [25] And he said,  Bring it near  to me, and I will eat  of my son's  venison,  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,  the smell  of my son  is as the smell  of a field  which the LORD  hath blessed:  [28] Therefore God  give  thee of the dew  of heaven,  and the fatness  of the earth,  and plenty  of corn  and wine:  [29] Let people  serve  thee, and nations  bow down  to thee: be  lord  over thy brethren,  and let thy mother's  sons  bow down  to thee: cursed  thee, and blessed  thee. [30] And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac  had made an end  of blessing  Jacob,  was yet  scarce  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,  arise,  and eat  of his son's  venison,  that thy soul  may bless  [32] And Isaac  his father  said  I am thy son,  thy firstborn  Esau.  [33] And Isaac  trembled  very  exceedingly,  and said,  Who? where  is he that hath taken  venison,  and brought  it me, and I have eaten  of all before thou camest,  and have blessed  [34] And when Esau  heard  the words  of his father,  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.
