Genesis 27:8

6 Et Rébecca parla à Jacob, son fils, et lui dit: Voici, j'ai entendu ton père, qui parlait à Ésaü, ton frère, et lui disait:
7 Apporte-moi du gibier, et apprête-moi un mets appétissant, que je le mange, et que je te bénisse devant l'Éternel, avant de mourir.

9 Va me prendre au troupeau deux bons chevreaux, et j'en apprêterai pour ton père un mets appétissant, comme il les aime.
10 Et tu le porteras à ton père, pour qu'il le mange, afin qu'il te bénisse avant sa mort.
