Genesis 27:1-46

27:1

And it came to pass
<01961> (8799)_,

that when Isaac
<03327>

was old
<02204> (8804)_,

and his eyes
<05869>

were dim
<03543> (8799)_,

so that he could not see
<07200> (8800)_,

he called
<07121> (8799)

Esau
<06215>

his eldest
<01419>

son
<01121>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My son
<01121>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, [here am] I.

27:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, I am old
<02204> (8804)_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

not the day
<03117>

of my death
<04194>_:

27:3

Now therefore take
<05375> (8798)_,

I pray thee, thy weapons
<03627>_,

thy quiver
<08522>

and thy bow
<07198>_,

and go out
<03318> (8798)

to the field
<07704>_,

and take
<06679> (8798)

me [some] venison
<06718> (8675) <06720>_;

{take: Heb. hunt}

27:4

And make
<06213> (8798)

me savoury meat
<04303>_,

such as
<0834>

I love
<0157> (8804)_,

and bring
<0935> (8685)

[it] to me, that I may eat
<0398> (8799)_;

that my soul
<05315>

may bless
<01288> (8762)

thee before
<02962>

I die
<04191> (8799)_.

27:5

And Rebekah
<07259>

heard
<08085> (8802)

when Isaac
<03327>

spake
<01696> (8763)

to Esau
<06215>

his son
<01121>_.

And Esau
<06215>

went
<03212> (8799)

to the field
<07704>

to hunt
<06679> (8800)

[for] venison
<06718>_,

[and] to bring
<0935> (8687)

[it].

27:6

And Rebekah
<07259>

spake
<0559> (8804)

unto Jacob
<03290>

her son
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, I heard
<08085> (8804)

thy father
<01>

speak
<01696> (8764)

unto Esau
<06215>

thy brother
<0251>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

27:7

Bring
<0935> (8685)

me venison
<06718>_,

and make
<06213> (8798)

me savoury meat
<04303>_,

that I may eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and bless
<01288> (8762)

thee before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

before
<06440>

my death
<04194>_.

27:8

Now therefore, my son
<01121>_,

obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>

according to that which
<0834>

I command
<06680> (8764)

thee.

27:9

Go
<03212> (8798)

now to the flock
<06629>_,

and fetch
<03947> (8798)

me from thence two
<08147>

good
<02896>

kids
<01423>

of the goats
<05795>_;

and I will make
<06213> (8799)

them savoury meat
<04303>

for thy father
<01>_,

such as he loveth
<0157> (8804)_:

27:10

And thou shalt bring
<0935> (8689)

[it] to thy father
<01>_,

that he may eat
<0398> (8804)_,

and that
<0834>

he may bless
<01288> (8762)

thee before
<06440>

his death
<04194>_.

27:11

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Rebekah
<07259>

his mother
<0517>_,

Behold, Esau
<06215>

my brother
<0251>

[is] a hairy
<08163>

man
<0376>_,

and I [am] a smooth
<02509>

man
<0376>_:

27:12

My father
<01>

peradventure will feel
<04959> (8799)

me, and I shall seem
<05869>

to him as a deceiver
<08591> (8772)_;

and I shall bring
<0935> (8689)

a curse
<07045>

upon me, and not a blessing
<01293>_.

27:13

And his mother
<0517>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse
<07045>_,

my son
<01121>_:

only obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

fetch
<03947> (8798)

me [them].

27:14

And he went
<03212> (8799)_,

and fetched
<03947> (8799)_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

[them] to his mother
<0517>_:

and his mother
<0517>

made
<06213> (8799)

savoury meat
<04303>_,

such as his father
<01>

loved
<0157> (8804)_.

27:15

And Rebekah
<07259>

took
<03947> (8799)

goodly
<02532>

raiment
<0899>

of her eldest
<01419>

son
<01121>

Esau
<06215>_,

which [were] with her in the house
<01004>_,

and put them upon
<03847> (8686)

Jacob
<03290>

her younger
<06996>

son
<01121>_:

{goodly: Heb. desirable}

27:16

And she put
<03847> (8689)

the skins
<05785>

of the kids
<01423>

of the goats
<05795>

upon his hands
<03027>_,

and upon the smooth
<02513>

of his neck
<06677>_:

27:17

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

the savoury meat
<04303>

and the bread
<03899>_,

which she had prepared
<06213> (8804)_,

into the hand
<03027>

of her son
<01121>

Jacob
<03290>_.

27:18

And he came
<0935> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

My father
<01>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son
<01121>_?

27:19

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

I [am] Esau
<06215>

thy firstborn
<01060>_;

I have done
<06213> (8804)

according as thou badest
<01696> (8765)

me: arise
<06965> (8798)_,

I pray thee, sit
<03427> (8798)

and eat
<0398> (8798)

of my venison
<06718>_,

that thy soul
<05315>

may bless
<01288> (8762)

me.

27:20

And Isaac
<03327>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his son
<01121>_,

How [is it] that thou hast found
<04672> (8800)

[it] so quickly
<04116> (8765)_,

my son
<01121>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

brought
<07136> (8689)

[it] to me
<06440>_.

{to me: Heb. before me}

27:21

And Isaac
<03327>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

Come near
<05066> (8798)_,

I pray thee, that I may feel
<04184> (8799)

thee, my son
<01121>_,

whether thou [be] my very
<02088>

son
<01121>

Esau
<06215>

or not.

27:22

And Jacob
<03290>

went near
<05066> (8799)

unto Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>_;

and he felt
<04959> (8799)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The voice
<06963>

[is] Jacob's
<03290>

voice
<06963>_,

but the hands
<03027>

[are] the hands
<03027>

of Esau
<06215>_.

27:23

And he discerned
<05234> (8689)

him not, because his hands
<03027>

were hairy
<08163>_,

as his brother
<0251>

Esau's
<06215>

hands
<03027>_:

so he blessed
<01288> (8762)

him.

27:24

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Art] thou my very son
<01121>

Esau
<06215>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am].

27:25

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring [it] near
<05066> (8685)

to me, and I will eat
<0398> (8799)

of my son's
<01121>

venison
<06718>_,

that my soul
<05315>

may bless
<01288> (8762)

thee. And he brought [it] near
<05066> (8686)

to him, and he did eat
<0398> (8799)_:

and he brought
<0935> (8686)

him wine
<03196>_,

and he drank
<08354> (8799)_.

27:26

And his father
<01>

Isaac
<03327>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Come near
<05066> (8798)

now, and kiss
<05401> (8798)

me, my son
<01121>_.

27:27

And he came near
<05066> (8799)_,

and kissed
<05401> (8799)

him: and he smelled
<07306> (8686)

the smell
<07381>

of his raiment
<0899>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

See
<07200> (8798)_,

the smell
<07381>

of my son
<01121>

[is] as the smell
<07381>

of a field
<07704>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)_:

27:28

Therefore God
<0430>

give
<05414> (8799)

thee of the dew
<02919>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and the fatness
<04924>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and plenty
<07230>

of corn
<01715>

and wine
<08492>_:

27:29

Let people
<05971>

serve
<05647> (8799)

thee, and nations
<03816>

bow down
<07812> (8691)

to thee: be
<01933> (8798)

lord
<01376>

over thy brethren
<0251>_,

and let thy mother's
<0517>

sons
<01121>

bow down
<07812> (8691)

to thee: cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] every one that curseth
<0779> (8802)

thee, and blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] he that blesseth
<01288> (8764)

thee.

27:30

And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac
<03327>

had made an end
<03615> (8765)

of blessing
<01288> (8763)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and Jacob
<03290>

was yet
<0389>

scarce
<03318> (8800)

gone out
<03318> (8804)

from the presence
<06440>

of Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>_,

that Esau
<06215>

his brother
<0251>

came in
<0935> (8804)

from his hunting
<06718>_.

27:31

And he also had made
<06213> (8799)

savoury meat
<04303>_,

and brought it
<0935> (8686)

unto his father
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

Let my father
<01>

arise
<06965> (8799)_,

and eat
<0398> (8799)

of his son's
<01121>

venison
<06718>_,

that thy soul
<05315>

may bless
<01288> (8762)

me.

27:32

And Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] thy son
<01121>_,

thy firstborn
<01060>

Esau
<06215>_.

27:33

And Isaac
<03327>

trembled
<02729> (8799)

very
<01419>

exceedingly
<03966> <02731>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who? where
<0645>

[is] he that hath taken
<06679> (8801)

venison
<06718>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

[it] me, and I have eaten
<0398> (8799)

of all before thou camest
<0935> (8799)_,

and have blessed
<01288> (8762)

him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed
<01288> (8803)_.

{trembled...: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly} {taken: Heb. hunted}

27:34

And when Esau
<06215>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of his father
<01>_,

he cried
<06817> (8799)

with a great
<01419>

and exceeding
<03966>

bitter
<04751>

cry
<06818>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

Bless
<01288> (8761)

me, [even] me also, O my father
<01>_.

27:35

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy brother
<0251>

came
<0935> (8804)

with subtilty
<04820>_,

and hath taken away
<03947> (8799)

thy blessing
<01293>_.

27:36

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Is not he rightly
<03588>

named
<07121> (8804) <08034>

Jacob
<03290>_?

for he hath supplanted me
<06117> (8799)

these
<02088>

two times
<06471>_:

he took away
<03947> (8804)

my birthright
<01062>_;

and, behold, now he hath taken away
<03947> (8804)

my blessing
<01293>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hast thou not reserved
<0680> (8804)

a blessing
<01293>

for me? {Jacob: that is, A supplanter}

27:37

And Isaac
<03327>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Esau
<06215>_,

Behold, I have made
<07760> (8804)

him thy lord
<01376>_,

and all his brethren
<0251>

have I given
<05414> (8804)

to him for servants
<05650>_;

and with corn
<01715>

and wine
<08492>

have I sustained
<05564> (8804)

him: and what shall I do
<06213> (8799)

now
<0645>

unto thee, my son
<01121>_?

{sustained: or, supported}

27:38

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

Hast thou but one
<0259>

blessing
<01293>_,

my father
<01>_?

bless
<01288> (8761)

me, [even] me also, O my father
<01>_.

And Esau
<06215>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

27:39

And Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thy dwelling
<04186>

shall be the fatness
<04924>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and of the dew
<02919>

of heaven
<08064>

from above
<05920>_;

{the fatness: or, of the fatness}

27:40

And by thy sword
<02719>

shalt thou live
<02421> (8799)_,

and shalt serve
<05647> (8799)

thy brother
<0251>_;

and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion
<07300> (8686)_,

that thou shalt break
<06561> (8804)

his yoke
<05923>

from off thy neck
<06677>_.

27:41

And Esau
<06215>

hated
<07852> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

because
<05921>

of the blessing
<01293>

wherewith
<0834>

his father
<01>

blessed him
<01288> (8765)_:

and Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

The days
<03117>

of mourning
<060>

for my father
<01>

are at hand
<07126> (8799)_;

then will I slay
<02026> (8799)

my brother
<0251>

Jacob
<03290>_.

27:42

And these words
<01697>

of Esau
<06215>

her elder
<01419>

son
<01121>

were told
<05046> (8714)

to Rebekah
<07259>_:

and she sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

her younger
<06996>

son
<01121>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thy brother
<0251>

Esau
<06215>_,

as touching thee, doth comfort
<05162> (8693)

himself, [purposing] to kill
<02026> (8800)

thee.

27:43

Now therefore, my son
<01121>_,

obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_;

and arise
<06965> (8798)_,

flee
<01272> (8798)

thou to Laban
<03837>

my brother
<0251>

to Haran
<02771>_;

27:44

And tarry
<03427> (8804)

with him a few
<0259>

days
<03117>_,

until
<0834>

thy brother's
<0251>

fury
<02534>

turn away
<07725> (8799)_;

27:45

Until thy brother's
<0251>

anger
<0639>

turn away
<07725> (8800)

from thee, and he forget
<07911> (8804)

[that] which thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

to him: then I will send
<07971> (8804)_,

and fetch
<03947> (8804)

thee from thence: why
<04100>

should I be deprived
<07921> (8799)

also of you both
<08147>

in one
<0259>

day
<03117>_?

27:46

And Rebekah
<07259>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Isaac
<03327>_,

I am weary
<06973> (8804)

of my life
<02416>

because
<06440>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Heth
<02845>_:

if Jacob
<03290>

take
<03947> (8802)

a wife
<0802>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Heth
<02845>_,

such as these [which are] of the daughters
<01323>

of the land
<0776>_,

what good
<04100>

shall my life
<02416>

do me?

Genesis 17:17

17:17

Then Abraham
<085>

fell
<05307> (8799)

upon his face
<06440>_,

and laughed
<06711> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

Shall [a child] be born
<03205> (8735)

unto him that is an hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_?

and shall Sarah
<08283>_,

that is ninety
<08673>

years
<08141>

old
<01323>_,

bear
<03205> (8799)_?

Genesis 18:19-33

18:19

For I know
<03045> (8804)

him, that
<0834>

he will command
<06680> (8762)

his children
<01121>

and his household
<01004>

after him
<0310>_,

and they shall keep
<08104> (8804)

the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

justice
<06666>

and judgment
<04941>_;

that the LORD
<03068>

may bring
<0935> (8687)

upon Abraham
<085>

that which he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

of him.

18:20

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because the cry
<02201>

of Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>

is great
<07227>_,

and because their sin
<02403>

is very
<03966>

grievous
<03513> (8804)_;

18:21

I will go down
<03381> (8799)

now, and see
<07200> (8799)

whether they have done
<06213> (8804)

altogether
<03617>

according to the cry
<06818>

of it, which is come
<0935> (8802)

unto me; and if not, I will know
<03045> (8799)_.

18:22

And the men
<0582>

turned their faces
<06437> (8799)

from thence, and went
<03212> (8799)

toward Sodom
<05467>_:

but Abraham
<085>

stood
<05975> (8802)

yet
<05750>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

18:23

And Abraham
<085>

drew near
<05066> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wilt thou also destroy
<05595> (8799)

the righteous
<06662>

with
<05973>

the wicked
<07563>_?

18:24

Peradventure there be
<03426>

fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>

within
<08432>

the city
<05892>_:

wilt thou also destroy
<05595> (8799)

and not spare
<05375> (8799)

the place
<04725>

for
<04616>

the fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>

that [are] therein
<07130>_?

18:25

That be far
<02486>

from thee to do
<06213> (8800)

after this manner
<01697>_,

to slay
<04191> (8687)

the righteous
<06662>

with the wicked
<07563>_:

and that the righteous
<06662>

should be as the wicked
<07563>_,

that be far
<02486>

from thee: Shall not the Judge
<08199> (8802)

of all the earth
<0776>

do
<06213> (8799)

right
<04941>_?

18:26

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

If I find
<04672> (8799)

in Sodom
<05467>

fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>

within
<08432>

the city
<05892>_,

then I will spare
<05375> (8804)

all the place
<04725>

for their sakes.

18:27

And Abraham
<085>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, I have taken upon me
<02974> (8689)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto the Lord
<0136>_,

which
<0595>

[am but] dust
<06083>

and ashes
<0665>_:

18:28

Peradventure there shall lack
<02637> (8799)

five
<02568>

of the fifty
<02572>

righteous
<06662>_:

wilt thou destroy
<07843> (8686)

all the city
<05892>

for [lack of] five
<02568>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

If I find
<04672> (8799)

there forty
<0705>

and five
<02568>_,

I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

[it].

18:29

And he spake
<01696> (8763)

unto him yet again
<03254> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peradventure there shall be forty
<0705>

found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not do
<06213> (8799)

[it] for forty's
<0705>

sake.

18:30

And he said
<0559> (8799)

[unto him], Oh
<04994>

let not the Lord
<0136>

be angry
<02734> (8799)_,

and I will speak
<01696> (8762)_:

Peradventure there shall thirty
<07970>

be found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not do
<06213> (8799)

[it], if I find
<04672> (8799)

thirty
<07970>

there.

18:31

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, I have taken upon me
<02974> (8689)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto the Lord
<0136>_:

Peradventure there shall be twenty
<06242>

found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

[it] for twenty's
<06242>

sake.

18:32

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Oh let not the Lord
<0136>

be angry
<02734> (8799)_,

and I will speak
<01696> (8762)

yet
<0389>

but this once
<06471>_:

Peradventure ten
<06235>

shall be found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

[it] for ten's
<06235>

sake.

18:33

And the LORD
<03068>

went his way
<03212> (8799)_,

as soon as
<0834>

he had left
<03615> (8765)

communing
<01696> (8763)

with Abraham
<085>_:

and Abraham
<085>

returned
<07725> (8804)

unto his place
<04725>_.
