Genesis 27:12-13

27:12 My father may touch me! Then he’ll think I’m mocking him ¹  and I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.” 27:13 So his mother told him, “Any curse against you will fall on me, ²  my son! Just obey me! ³  Go and get them for me!”

[27:12]  ¹ tn Heb “Perhaps my father will feel me and I will be in his eyes like a mocker.” The Hebrew expression “I will be in his eyes like” means “I would appear to him as.”

[27:13]  ² tn Heb “upon me your curse.”

[27:13]  ³ tn Heb “only listen to my voice.”
