Genesis 27:20-46

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?
