Isaac's blessing planned
And when Isaac was old, and his eyes had gone so he couldn't see, he called Esau his eldest son and said: Son. And he said: Right here. And he said: Look at me — I'm old, and I don't know what day I'll go. So take your gear now, your quiver and your bow, and get out in the bush and bring me back some game. And make me a savoury meal, the way I love it, and bring it to me to eat, so I can bless you before I die. And Rebekah was listening while Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went out in the bush to hunt game and bring it back. And Rebekah said to Jacob her son: Listen — I heard your father say to Esau your brother: Bring me game and make me a savoury meal, so I can eat and bless you before the Lord before I die. So now, son, do what I tell you. Go out to the flock and bring me two good young goats, and I will make your father a savoury meal from them, the way he likes it. And you'll take it in to your father to eat, so he blesses you before he dies. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother: But Esau my brother is hairy, and I am smooth-skinned. What if my father has a feel of me? He'll think I'm having him on, and I'll bring a curse down on myself instead of a blessing. And his mother said: Let the curse fall on me, son. Just do what I tell you. Go and get them. So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made a savoury meal the way his father liked it. And Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau her eldest, that she had in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son. And she put the goat skins on his hands and on the smooth of his neck. And she put the savoury food and the bread she had made into the hands of her son Jacob.
And when Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so he couldn't see, he called Esau his oldest son and said to him: My son. And he said to him: Here I am. And he said: Look now — I'm old. I don't know the day of my death. So take your weapons now, please, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and get me some game. And make me tasty food, the way I love it, and bring it to me so I can eat — so my soul can bless you before I die. And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for game and to bring it. And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son: Look — I heard your father speak to Esau your brother: Bring me game and make me tasty food, so I can eat and bless you in front of the Lord before my death. So now, my son, listen to my voice, according to what I order you. Go to the flock now and get me two good young goats from there. And I'll make them into tasty food for your father, the way he loves it. And you'll bring it to your father, so he can eat and so he can bless you before his death. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother: Look — Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I'm a smooth man. Maybe my father will feel me, and I'll seem like a cheat to him. And I'll bring a curse on me and not a blessing. And his mother said to him: Let your curse be on me, my son. Only listen to my voice, and go and get them for me. And he went and got them and brought them to his mother. And his mother made tasty food, the way his father loved it. And Rebekah took the good clothes of her oldest son Esau, that were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son. And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. And she gave the tasty food and the bread she'd made into the hand of her son Jacob.
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I. And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth: And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved. And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son: And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

And he said: Look now — I'm old. I don't know the day of my death.
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
So take your gear now, your quiver and your bow, and get out in the bush and bring me back some game.
So take your weapons now, please, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and get me some game.

And you'll bring it to your father, so he can eat and so he can bless you before his death.
And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother: But Esau my brother is hairy, and I am smooth-skinned.
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother: Look — Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I'm a smooth man.
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
What if my father has a feel of me? He'll think I'm having him on, and I'll bring a curse down on myself instead of a blessing.
Maybe my father will feel me, and I'll seem like a cheat to him. And I'll bring a curse on me and not a blessing.

The stolen blessing
And he came to his father and said: My father. And he said: Here I am. Who are you, my son? And Jacob said to his father: I'm Esau, your firstborn. I've done what you told me. Sit up and eat some of my game, so you can bless me. And Isaac said to his son: How did you find it so quickly, my son? And he said: Because the Lord your God brought it to me. And Isaac said to Jacob: Come here and let me have a feel of you, son, and see whether you really are my son Esau. And Jacob went up to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said: The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are Esau's hands. And he didn't twig, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's. So he blessed him. And he said: You really are my son Esau? And he said: I am. And he said: Bring it here and I'll eat some of my son's game, so I can bless you. And he brought it to him and he ate. And he brought him wine and he drank. And his father Isaac said: Come here and give me a kiss, son. And he came up and kissed him. And he got the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said: There it is — the smell of my son, like the smell of a paddock the Lord has blessed. So God give you the dew of heaven and the fat of the earth, and grain and wine in plenty. Let peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be everyone who blesses you.
And he came to his father and said: My father. And he said: Here I am. Who are you, my son? And Jacob said to his father: I'm Esau your firstborn. I've done the way you said to me. Get up now, please, sit and eat of my game, so your soul can bless me. And Isaac said to his son: How is it you've found it so quickly, my son? And he said: Because the Lord your God brought it to me. And Isaac said to Jacob: Come near now, please, so I can feel you, my son, whether you're really my son Esau or not. And Jacob went near to Isaac his father. And he felt him and said: The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. And he didn't know him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him. And he said: Are you really my son Esau? And he said: I am. And he said: Bring it near me, and I'll eat of my son's game, so my soul can bless you. And he brought it near him, and he ate. And he brought him wine, and he drank. And his father Isaac said to him: Come near now and kiss me, my son. And he came near and kissed him.

Be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be the one who blesses you.
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me. And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him. And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.

Esau's cry
And no sooner had Isaac finished blessing Jacob — Jacob had barely got out the door — than Esau his brother came in from his hunting. And he also made a savoury meal and brought it to his father, and said: Sit up, my father, and eat some of your son's game, so you can bless me. And Isaac his father said: Who are you? And he said: I'm your son, your firstborn, Esau. And Isaac trembled greatly and said: Who was it, then, who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I blessed him — and blessed he will remain. And when Esau heard what his father said, he let out a terrible bitter cry and said: Bless me too, Dad. Me as well. And he said: Your brother came at it crooked, and he's taken your blessing. And he said: Isn't he well named Jacob? That's twice he's got in ahead of me. He took my birthright, and now look — he's taken my blessing. And he said: Haven't you kept a blessing back for me? And Isaac answered Esau: Look — I've made him lord over you, and given him all his brothers for servants, and set him up with grain and wine. What's left for you, son? And Esau said to his father: Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father. And Esau lifted up his voice and wept. And Isaac his father answered him: Look — your place will be away from the fat of the earth, and away from the dew of heaven above. And you'll live by your sword, and you'll serve your brother. But when you've had a gutful, you'll break his yoke off your neck. And Esau had it in for Jacob over the blessing his father gave him. And Esau said to himself: The days of mourning for my father are close. Then I'll kill my brother Jacob. And what Esau her elder son said got back to Rebekah. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said: Listen — your brother Esau is squaring himself up with the thought of killing you. So do what I tell you, son. Get up and shoot through to my brother Laban at Haran. And stop with him a while, till your brother's temper cools off. until your brother's anger turns away from you and he forgets what you did to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back. Why should I lose you both in one day? And Rebekah said to Isaac: I've had it up to here with these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, from the local girls, what's the good of my life to me?
And as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had only just gone out from in front of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. And he'd made tasty food too and brought it to his father. And he said to his father: Let my father get up and eat of his son's game, so your soul can bless me. And Isaac his father said to him: Who are you? And he said: I'm your son, your firstborn Esau. And Isaac shook very badly and said: Who? Where's the one who's taken game and brought it to me? And I've eaten of it all before you came and blessed him. Yes, and he'll be blessed. And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said to his father: Bless me, me too, my father. And he said: Your brother came with cheating and has taken your blessing. And he said: Isn't he rightly named Jacob? Because he's tripped me up these two times. He took away my birthright, and look — now he's taken away my blessing. And he said: Haven't you kept a blessing for me? And Isaac answered Esau: Look — I've made him your lord, and I've given him all his brothers as servants. And with grain and wine I've held him up. So what can I do for you now, my son? And Esau said to his father: Have you got only one blessing, my father? Bless me, me too, my father. And Esau lifted up his voice and wept. And Isaac his father answered: Look — where you live will be away from the fatness of the earth and away from the dew of heaven above. And you'll live by your sword and serve your brother. And when you get the rule, you'll break his yoke off your neck. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing his father had blessed him with. And Esau said in his heart: The days of mourning for my father are close. Then I'll kill my brother Jacob. And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him: Look — your brother Esau is comforting himself about you, planning to kill you. So now, my son, listen to my voice. Get up and run to Laban my brother in Haran. And stay with him a few days, till your brother's fury turns away — till your brother's anger turns away from you and he forgets what you've done to him. Then I'll send and get you from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day? And Rebekah said to Isaac: I'm worn out with my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these of the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed. And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son? And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away; Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day? And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
And no sooner had Isaac finished blessing Jacob — Jacob had barely got out the door — than Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
And as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had only just gone out from in front of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

And he'd made tasty food too and brought it to his father. And he said to his father: Let my father get up and eat of his son's game, so your soul can bless me.
And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.
And Isaac his father said: Who are you? And he said: I'm your son, your firstborn, Esau.
And Isaac his father said to him: Who are you? And he said: I'm your son, your firstborn Esau.
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
And Isaac trembled greatly and said: Who was it, then, who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I blessed him — and blessed he will remain.
And Isaac shook very badly and said: Who? Where's the one who's taken game and brought it to me? And I've eaten of it all before you came and blessed him. Yes, and he'll be blessed.
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
And when Esau heard what his father said, he let out a terrible bitter cry and said: Bless me too, Dad. Me as well.
And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said to his father: Bless me, me too, my father.
And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
And he said: Your brother came at it crooked, and he's taken your blessing.
And he said: Your brother came with cheating and has taken your blessing.
And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
And he said: Isn't he well named Jacob? That's twice he's got in ahead of me. He took my birthright, and now look — he's taken my blessing. And he said: Haven't you kept a blessing back for me?
And he said: Isn't he rightly named Jacob? Because he's tripped me up these two times. He took away my birthright, and look — now he's taken away my blessing. And he said: Haven't you kept a blessing for me?
