Genesis 27:8 In-Context

6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau, thy brother, and saying to him:

7 Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die.

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