Genesis 27:10

10 Then you'll take it to your father, he'll eat and bless you before he dies."

Genesis 27:10 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:10

And thou shall bring [it] to thy father
For venison; and as if he was Esau that brought it: that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death;
to whom she knew by the divine oracle the blessing belonged, ( Genesis 25:23 ) , as well as by virtue of the sale of the birthright to him by his brother, ( Genesis 25:33 ) , and through Esau's forfeiting of it by marrying with the Canaanites, ( Genesis 26:34 ) ; in these her sentiments she was right, but wrong in the ways and means she took to get it for him.

Genesis 27:10 In-Context

8 "Now, my son, listen to me. Do what I tell you.

9 Go to the flock and get me two young goats. Pick the best; I'll prepare them into a hearty meal, the kind that your father loves.

10 Then you'll take it to your father, he'll eat and bless you before he dies."

11 "But Mother," Jacob said, "my brother Esau is a hairy man and I have smooth skin.

12 What happens if my father touches me? He'll think I'm playing games with him. I'll bring down a curse on myself instead of a blessing."
