Genesis 27
New International Version
27 When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see,(A) he called for Esau his older son(B) and said to him, “My son.”
“Here I am,” he answered.
2 Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death.(C) 3 Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country(D) to hunt some wild game for me. 4 Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like(E) and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing(F) before I die.”(G)
5 Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country(H) to hunt game and bring it back, 6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob,(I) “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau, 7 ‘Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the Lord before I die.’(J) 8 Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you:(K) 9 Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats,(L) so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it.(M) 10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing(N) before he dies.”
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man(O) while I have smooth skin. 12 What if my father touches me?(P) I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse(Q) on myself rather than a blessing.”
13 His mother said to him, “My son, let the curse fall on me.(R) Just do what I say;(S) go and get them for me.”
14 So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.(T) 15 Then Rebekah took the best clothes(U) of Esau her older son,(V) which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob. 16 She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.(W) 17 Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.
18 He went to his father and said, “My father.”
“Yes, my son,” he answered. “Who is it?”(X)
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn.(Y) I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game,(Z) so that you may give me your blessing.”(AA)
20 Isaac asked his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?”
“The Lord your God gave me success,(AB)” he replied.
21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near so I can touch you,(AC) my son, to know whether you really are my son Esau or not.”
22 Jacob went close to his father Isaac,(AD) who touched(AE) him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau;(AF) so he proceeded to bless him. 24 “Are you really my son Esau?” he asked.
“I am,” he replied.
25 Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.”(AG)
Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here, my son, and kiss me.”
27 So he went to him and kissed(AH) him(AI). When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes,(AJ) he blessed him and said,
“Ah, the smell of my son
is like the smell of a field
that the Lord has blessed.(AK)
28 May God give you heaven’s dew(AL)
and earth’s richness(AM)—
an abundance of grain(AN) and new wine.(AO)
29 May nations serve you
and peoples bow down to you.(AP)
Be lord over your brothers,
and may the sons of your mother bow down to you.(AQ)
May those who curse you be cursed
and those who bless you be blessed.(AR)”
30 After Isaac finished blessing him, and Jacob had scarcely left his father’s presence, his brother Esau came in from hunting. 31 He too prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Then he said to him, “My father, please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give me your blessing.”(AS)
32 His father Isaac asked him, “Who are you?”(AT)
“I am your son,” he answered, “your firstborn, Esau.(AU)”
33 Isaac trembled violently and said, “Who was it, then, that hunted game and brought it to me?(AV) I ate it just before you came and I blessed him—and indeed he will be blessed!(AW)”
34 When Esau heard his father’s words, he burst out with a loud and bitter cry(AX) and said to his father, “Bless(AY) me—me too, my father!”
35 But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully(AZ) and took your blessing.”(BA)
36 Esau said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob[a]?(BB) This is the second time he has taken advantage of(BC) me: He took my birthright,(BD) and now he’s taken my blessing!”(BE) Then he asked, “Haven’t you reserved any blessing for me?”
37 Isaac answered Esau, “I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine.(BF) So what can I possibly do for you, my son?”
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.(BG)
39 His father Isaac answered him,(BH)
“Your dwelling will be
away from the earth’s richness,
away from the dew(BI) of heaven above.(BJ)
40 You will live by the sword
and you will serve(BK) your brother.(BL)
But when you grow restless,
you will throw his yoke
from off your neck.(BM)”
41 Esau held a grudge(BN) against Jacob(BO) because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, “The days of mourning(BP) for my father are near; then I will kill(BQ) my brother Jacob.”(BR)
42 When Rebekah was told what her older son Esau(BS) had said, she sent for her younger son Jacob and said to him, “Your brother Esau is planning to avenge himself by killing you.(BT) 43 Now then, my son, do what I say:(BU) Flee at once to my brother Laban(BV) in Harran.(BW) 44 Stay with him for a while(BX) until your brother’s fury subsides. 45 When your brother is no longer angry with you and forgets what you did to him,(BY) I’ll send word for you to come back from there.(BZ) Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I’m disgusted with living because of these Hittite(CA) women. If Jacob takes a wife from among the women of this land,(CB) from Hittite women like these, my life will not be worth living.”(CC)

27 Da Isak var blevet gammel og hans Syn sløvet, så han ikke kunde se, kaldte han sin ældste Søn Esau til sig og sagde til ham: "Min Søn!" Han svarede: "Her er jeg!" 2 Da sagde han: "Se, jeg er nu gammel og ved ikke, hvad Dag Døden kommer 3 tag derfor dine Jagtredskaber, dit Pilekogger og din Bue og gå ud på Marken og skyd mig et Stykke Vildt; 4 lav mig en lækker Ret Mad efter min Smag og bring mig den, at jeg kan spise, før at min Sjæl kan velsigne dig, før jeg dør!"
5 Men Rebekka havde lyttet, medens Isak talte til sin Søn Esau, og da, Esau var gået ud på Marken for at skyde et Stykke Vildt til sin Fader, 6 sagde hun til sin yngste Søn Jakob; "Se, jeg hørte din Fader sige til din Broder Esau: 7 Hent mig et Stykke Vildt og lav mig en lækker Ret Mad, at jeg kan spise, før at jeg kan velsigne dig for Herrens Åsyn før min Død. 8 Adlyd mig nu, min Søn, og gør, hvad jeg pålægger dig: 9 Gå ud til Hjorden og hent mig to gode Gedekid; så laver jeg af dem en lækker Ret Mad til din Fader efter hans Smag; 10 bring så den ind til din Fader, at han kan spise, for at han kan velsigne dig før sin Død!" 11 Men Jakob sagde til sin Moder Rebekka: "Se, min Broder Esau er håret, jeg derimod glat; 12 sæt nu, at min Fader føler på mig, så står jeg for ham som en Bedrager og henter mig en Forbandelse og ingen Velsignelse!" 13 Men hans Moder svarede: "Den Forbandelse tager jeg på mig, min Søn, adlyd mig blot og gå hen og hent mig dem!" 14 Så gik han hen og hentede dem og bragte sin Moder dem, og hun tillavede en lækker Ret Mad efter hans Faders Smag. 15 Derpå tog Rebekka sin ældste Søn Esaus Festklæder, som hun havde hos sig i Huset, og gav sin yngste Søn Jakob dem på; 16 Skindene af Gedekiddene lagde hun om hans Hænder og om det glatte på hans Hals, 17 og så gav hun sin Søn Jakob Maden og Brødet, som hun havde tillavet.
18 Så bragte han det ind til sin Fader og sagde: "Fader!" Han svarede: "Ja! Hvem er du, min Søn?" 19 Da svarede Jakob sin Fader: "Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte; jeg har gjort, som du bød mig; sæt dig nu op og spis af mit Vildt, for at din Sjæl kan velsigne mig!" 20 Men Isak sagde til sin Søn: "Hvor har du så hurtigt kunnet finde noget, min Søn?" Han svarede: "Jo, Herren din Gud sendte mig det i Møde!" 21 Men Isak sagde til Jakob: "Kom hen til mig, min Søn, så jeg kan føle på dig, om du er min Søn Esau eller ej!" 22 Da trådte Jakob hen til sin Fader, og efter at have følt på ham sagde Isak: "Røsten er Jakobs, men Hænderne Esaus!" 23 Og han kendte ham ikke, fordi hans Hænder var hårede som hans Broder Esaus. Så velsignede han ham. 24 Og han sagde: "Du er altså virkelig min Søn Esau?" Han svarede: "Ja, jeg er!" 25 Da sagde han: "Bring mig det, at jeg kan spise af min Søns Vildt, for at min Sjæl kan velsigne dig!" Så bragte han ham det, og han spiste, og han bragte ham Vin, og han drak. 26 Derpå sagde hans Fader Isak til ham: "Kom hen til mig og kys mig, min Søn!" 27 Og da, han kom hen til ham og kyssede ham, mærkede han Duften af hans Klæder. Så velsignede han ham og sagde: "Se, Duften af min Søn er som Duften af en Mark, Herren har velsignet! 28 Gud give dig af Himmelens Væde og Jordens Fedme, Korn og Most i Overflod! 29 Måtte Folkeslag tjene dig og Folkefærd bøje sig til Jorden for dig! Bliv Hersker over dine Brødre, og din Moders Sønner bøje sig til Jorden for dig! Forbandet, hvo dig forbander; velsignet, hvo dig velsigner!"
30 Da Isak var færdig med at velsigne Jakob, og lige som Jakob var gået fra sin Fader Isak, vendte hans Broder Esau hjem fra Jagten; 31 også han lavede en lækker Ret Mad, bragte den til sin Fader og sagde: "Vil min Fader sætte sig op og spise af sin Søns Vildt, for at din Sjæl kan velsigne mig!" 32 Så sagde hans Fader Isak: "Hvem er du?" Og han svarede: "Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte!" 33 Da blev Isak højlig forfærdet og sagde: "Men hvem var da han. der bragte mig et Stykke Vildt, som han havde skudt? Og jeg spiste, før du kom, og jeg velsignede ham og nu er og bliver han velsignet!" 34 Da Esau hørte sin Faders Ord: udstødte han et højt og hjerteskærende Skrig og sagde: "Velsign dog også mig, Fader!" 35 Men han sagde: "Din Broder kom med Svig og tog din Velsignelse!" 36 Da sagde han: "Har man kaldt ham Jakob, fordi han skulde overliste mig? Nu har han gjort det to Gange: Han tog min Førstefødselsret, og nu har han også taget min Velsignelse!" Og han sagde: "Har du ingen Velsignelse tilbage til mig?" 37 Men Isak svarede: "Se, jeg har sat ham til Hersker over dig, og alle hans Brødre har jeg gjort til hans Trælle, med Horn og Most. har jeg betænkt ham hvad kan jeg da gøre for dig, min Søn?" 38 Da sagde Esau til sin Fader: "Har du kun den ene Velsignelse. Fader? Velsign også mig, Fader!" Og Esau opløftede sin Røst og græd. 39 Så tog hans Fader Isak til Orde og sagde til ham: "Se, fjern fra Jordens Fedme skal din Bolig være og fjern fra Himmelens Væde ovenfra; 40 af dit Sværd skal du leve, og din Broder skal du tjene; men når du samler din Kraft, skal du sprænge hans Åg af din Hals!"
41 Men Esau pønsede på ondt mod Jakob for den Velsignelse, hans Fader havde givet ham, og Esau sagde ved sig selv: "Der er ikke længe til, at vi skal holde Sorg over min Fader, så vil jeg slå min Broder Jakob ihjel!" 42 Da nu Rebekka fik Nys om sin ældste Søn Esaus Ord, sendte hun Bud efter sin yngste Søn Jakob og sagde til ham: "Din Broder Esau vil hævne sig på dig og slå dig ihjel; 43 adlyd nu mig min Søn: Flygt til min Broder Laban i Karan 44 og bliv så hos ham en Tid, til din Broders Harme lægger sig, 45 til din Broders Vrede vender sig fra dig, og han glemmer, hvad du har gjort ham; så skal jeg sende Bud og hente dig hjem. Hvorfor skal jeg miste eder begge på een Dag!"
46 Men Rebekka sagde til Isak: "Jeg er led ved Livet for Hets Døtres Skyld; hvis Jakob tager sig sådan en hetitisk Kvinde, en af Landets Døtre, til Hustru, hvad skal jeg da med Livet!"

King James Version
27 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.
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
4 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.
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9 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:
10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah 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 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.
20 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.
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 Lord 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 my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
37 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?
38 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.
39 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;
40 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.
41 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.
42 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.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
45 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?
46 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?
