New International Version NIV
1 And it cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, `My son;' and he saith unto him, `Here [am] I.'
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 And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
2
Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death.
3 and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
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 and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee 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.”
