Genesis 27:10

10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.

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 therefore, my son, follow my counsel:

9 And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth.

10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.

11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am smooth:

12 If my father should feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing.
