Genesis 27:1-29

HNV

NIV

1 It happened, that when Yitzchak was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esav his elder son, and said to him, "My son?" He said to him, "Here I am."
1 When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” he answered.
2 He said, "See now, I am old. I don't know the day of my death.
2 Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death.
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison.
3 Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.
4 Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.
4 Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing before I die.”
5 Rivka heard when Yitzchak spoke to Esav his son. Esav went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
5 Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country to hunt game and bring it back,
6 Rivka spoke to Ya`akov her son, saying, "Behold, I heard your father speak to Esav your brother, saying,
6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau,
7 'Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.'
7 ‘Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
8 Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you:
9 Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good kids of the goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.
9 Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it.
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."
10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing before he dies.”
11 Ya`akov said to Rivka his mother, "Behold, Esav my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man while I have smooth skin.
12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing."
12 What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing.”
13 His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me."
13 His mother said to him, “My son, let the curse fall on me. Just do what I say; go and get them for me.”
14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
14 So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.
15 Rivka took the good clothes of Esav, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Ya`akov, her younger son.
15 Then Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
16 She put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
16 She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.
17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Ya`akov.
17 Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.
18 He came to his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"
18 He went to his father and said, “My father.” “Yes, my son,” he answered. “Who is it?”
19 Ya`akov said to his father, "I am Esav your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me."
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give me your blessing.”
20 Yitzchak said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He said, "Because the LORD your God gave me success."
20 Isaac asked his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?” “The LORD your God gave me success,” he replied.
21 Yitzchak said to Ya`akov, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esav or not."
21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near so I can touch you, my son, to know whether you really are my son Esau or not.”
22 Ya`akov went near to Yitzchak his father. He felt him, and said, "The voice is Ya`akov's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esav."
22 Jacob went close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 He didn't recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esav's hands. So he blessed him.
23 He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he proceeded to bless him.
24 He said, "Are you really my son Esav?" He said, "I am."
24 “Are you really my son Esau?” he asked. “I am,” he replied.
25 He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you." He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
25 Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.” Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank.
26 His father Yitzchak said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son."
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here, my son, and kiss me.”
27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, "Behold, the smell of my son Is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.
27 So he went to him and kissed him. When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said, “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the eretz, and plenty of grain and new wine.
28 May God give you heaven’s dew and earth’s richness— an abundance of grain and new wine.
29 Let peoples serve you, Nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, Let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, Blessed be everyone who blesses you."
29 May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed.”
