Génesis 27:7

7 “Caza un animal y prepárame una comida deliciosa. Entonces te bendeciré en presencia del Señor
antes de morir”.

Génesis 27:7 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:7

Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat
Fetch him venison out of the field, and dress it in a savoury manner, and bring it to him: that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death;
the phrase "before the Lord" is here added, which yet perhaps might be expressed by Isaac, though before omitted by the historian, and has a very considerable emphasis in it; for this solemn blessing was given not only in the presence of the Lord, and before him as a witness, but by calling upon him, and praying for direction in it, and then pronouncing it in his name and by his authority, he approving of it, so that it was ever after irrevocable.

Génesis 27:7 In-Context

5 Rebeca oyó lo que Isaac le había dicho a su hijo Esaú. Entonces, cuando Esaú salió a cazar un animal,

6 ella le dijo a su hijo Jacob:
—Escucha. Oí a tu padre decirle a Esaú:

7 “Caza un animal y prepárame una comida deliciosa. Entonces te bendeciré en presencia del Señor
antes de morir”.

8 Ahora, hijo mío, escúchame. Haz exactamente lo que yo te diga.

9 Vete a los rebaños y tráeme dos de los mejores cabritos. Con ellos prepararé el plato favorito de tu padre.
