his mother, Behold, Esau my brother
is
a hairy man, and I
am
a smooth man:
12
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.
13
And his mother said unto him, Upon me
be
thy curse, my son: only obey my
voice, and go fetch me
them.
14
And he went, and fetched, and brought
them
to his mother: and
his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
15
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:
16
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17
And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son
Jacob.
18
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here
am
I; who
art
thou, my
son?
19
And Jacob said unto his father, I
am
Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest
me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20
And Isaac said unto
his son, How
is it
that thou hast found
it
so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the L
ORD
thy
God brought
it
to me.
21
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.
22
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.
23
And
he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
24
And he said,
Art
thou my very son Esau? And he said, I
am.
25
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.
26
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come
near now, and kiss me, my son.
27
And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of
his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son
is
as the smell of a field which the
L
ORD
hath blessed:
28
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth,
and plenty of corn and wine:
29
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over
thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed
be
every one that curseth thee,
and blessed
be
he that blesseth thee.
30
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.
31
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.
32
And Isaac his father
said unto him, Who
art
thou? And he said, I
am
thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
33
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.
34
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.
35
And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty,
and hath taken away thy blessing.
36
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
