10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may 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 my voice and do exactly as I tell you.

9 Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.

10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”

11 Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.

12 What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
