3
And now, I pray thee, take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt me venison,
4
and prepare me a savoury dish such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, in order that my soul may bless thee before I die.
5
And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.
6
And Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,
7
Bring me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, before my death.
8
And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee.
9
Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves.
10
And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death.
11
And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12
My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks [him], and I shall bring a curse on me, and not a blessing.
