27 At nangyari, nang matanda na si Isaac, at malabo na ang kaniyang mga mata, na ano pa't hindi na siya makakita, ay tinawag si Esau na kaniyang anak na panganay, at sinabi sa kaniya, Anak ko: at kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.

At sinabi niya, Narito, ako'y matanda, at hindi ko nalalaman ang kaarawan ng aking kamatayan.

Ngayon nga'y kunin mo ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, ang iyong almas, ang iyong lalagyan ng pana, at ang iyong busog, at lumabas ka sa parang, at ihuli mo ako ng usa;

At igawa mo ako ng masarap na pagkain, na aking ibig, at dalhin mo rito sa akin, upang ako'y kumain; upang ikaw ay basbasan ko bago ako mamatay.

At pinakikinggan ni Rebeca nang nagsasalita si Isaac kay Esau na kaniyang anak. At naparoon si Esau sa parang upang manghuli ng usa, at upang madala.

At isinaysay ni Rebeca kay Jacob na kaniyang anak na sinasabi, Narito, narinig ko ang iyong ama na nagsasalita kay Esau na iyong kapatid, na sinasabi,

Dalhan mo ako ng usa, at igawa mo ako ng pagkaing masarap, upang ako'y kumain, at ikaw ay aking basbasan sa harap ng Panginoon, bago ako mamatay,

Ngayon nga, anak ko, sundin mo ang aking tinig, ayon sa iniutos ko sa iyo.

Pumaroon ka ngayon sa kawan, at dalhin mo rito sa akin ang dalawang mabuting anak ng kambing; at gagawin kong masarap na pagkain sa iyong ama, ayon sa kaniyang ibig.

10 At dadalhin mo sa iyong ama, upang kumain, ano pa't ikaw ay kaniyang basbasan bago siya mamatay.

11 At sinabi ni Jacob kay Rebeca na kaniyang ina, Narito, si Esau na aking kapatid ay taong mabalahibo, at ako'y taong makinis.

12 Marahil ay hihipuin ako ng aking ama, at aariin niya akong parang nagdaraya sa kaniya; at ang aking mahihita ay sumpa at hindi basbas.

13 At sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang ina, Sa akin mapunta ang sumpa sa iyo, anak ko: sundin mo lamang ang aking tinig, at yumaon ka, na dalhin mo sa akin.

14 At siya'y yumaon at dinala sa kaniyang ina: at gumawa ang kaniyang ina ng masarap na pagkain, na ibig ng kaniyang ama.

15 At kinuha ni Rebeca ang mainam na damit ni Esau, na kaniyang anak na panganay, na nasa kaniya sa bahay, at isinuot kay Jacob na kaniyang bunsong anak:

16 At ang mga balat ng mga anak ng kambing ay ibinalot sa kaniyang mga kamay, at sa kinis ng kaniyang leeg.

17 At kaniyang ibinigay ang pagkaing masarap, at ang tinapay na kaniyang inihanda, sa kamay ni Jacob na kaniyang anak.

18 At siya'y lumapit sa kaniyang ama, at nagsabi, Ama ko; at sinabi niya: Narito ako; sino ka, anak ko?

19 At sinabi ni Jacob sa kaniyang ama, Ako'y si Esau na iyong panganay; ginawa ko ang ayon sa sinabi mo sa akin: bumangon ka, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, maupo ka at kumain ka ng aking usa, upang basbasan ako ng iyong kaluluwa.

20 At sinabi ni Isaac sa kaniyang anak, Ano't kay dali mong nakasumpong, anak ko? At sinabi niya, Sapagka't binigyan ako ng mabuting kapalaran ng Panginoon mong Dios.

21 At sinabi ni Isaac kay Jacob, Lumapit ka rito, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo upang hipuin kita, anak ko, kung tunay na ikaw ang aking anak na si Esau o hindi.

22 At lumapit si Jacob kay Isaac na kaniyang ama: at hinipo siya, at sinabi, Ang tinig ay tinig ni Jacob, nguni't ang mga kamay ay mga kamay ni Esau.

23 At hindi siya nakilala, sapagka't ang kaniyang kamay ay mabalahibo, gaya ng mga kamay ni Esau na kaniyang kapatid: at sa gayo'y binasbasan siya.

24 At sinabi niya, Ikaw bang tunay ang aking anak na si Esau? At sinabi niya, Ako nga.

25 At kaniyang sinabi, Ilapit mo sa akin, at kakain ako ng usa ng aking anak, upang basbasan ka ng aking kaluluwa. At kaniyang inilapit sa kaniya at kumain siya: at siya'y dinalhan niya ng alak, at uminom.

26 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Isaac na kaniyang ama, Lumapit ka ngayon at humalik ka sa akin, anak ko.

27 At siya'y lumapit at humalik siya sa kaniya: at naamoy ng ama ang amoy ng kaniyang mga suot, at siya'y binasbasan, na sinabi, Narito, ang amoy ng aking anak Ay gaya ng amoy ng isang parang na pinagpala ng Panginoon:

28 At bigyan ka ng Dios ng hamog ng langit, At ng taba ng lupa, At ng saganang trigo at alak:

29 Ang mga bayan ay mangaglingkod nawa sa iyo. At ang mga bansa ay mangagsiyukod sa iyo: Maging panginoon ka nawa ng iyong mga kapatid, At magsiyukod sa iyo ang mga anak ng iyong ina: Sumpain nawa ang mga sumusumpa sa iyo. At maging mapapalad ang mga magpapala sa iyo.

30 At nangyari pagkatapos ng pagbabasbas ni Isaac kay Jacob, at bahagya nang kaaalis ni Jacob sa harap ni Isaac na kaniyang ama, ay dumating si Esau na kaniyang kapatid, na galing sa kaniyang panghuhuli.

31 At siya ma'y gumawa ng masarap na pagkain, at dinala niya sa kaniyang ama; at sinabi niya sa kaniyang ama, Bumangon ang ama ko, at kumain ng usa ng kaniyang anak, upang basbasan ako ng iyong kaluluwa.

32 At sinabi ni Isaac na kaniyang ama sa kaniya, Sino ka? At kaniyang sinabi, Ako ang iyong anak, ang iyong panganay na si Esau.

33 At nangilabot na mainam si Isaac, at sinabi, Sino nga yaong kumuha ng usa at dinala sa akin, at ako'y kumain niyaon bago ka dumating, at aking binasbasan siya? oo, at siya'y magiging mapalad!

34 Nang marinig ni Esau ang mga salita ng kaniyang ama ay humiyaw ng malakas at ng di kawasang kapanglawan: at sinabi sa kaniyang ama. Basbasan mo ako, ako naman, Oh ama ko.

35 At kaniyang sinabi, Naparito ang iyong kapatid sa pamamagitan ng daya, at kinuha ang basbas sa iyo.

36 At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ba matuwid ang pagkatawag sa kaniyang Jacob? sapagka't kaniyang inagawan ako nitong makalawa: kaniyang kinuha ang aking pagkapanganay; at, narito, ngayo'y kinuha ang basbas sa akin. At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi mo ba ako ipinaglaan ng basbas.

37 At sumagot si Isaac, at sinabi kay Esau. Narito, inilagay ko siyang panginoon mo, at sa kaniya'y ibinigay kong lingkod ang lahat niyang mga kapatid; at sa trigo at sa bagong alak, ay kinandili ko siya; at sa iyo'y ano ngang magagawa ko ngayon anak ko?

38 At sinabi ni Esau sa kaniyang ama, Wala ka ba, kundi isa lamang basbas, ama ko? Basbasan mo ako, ako naman, Oh ama ko. At humiyaw si Esau at umiyak.

39 At sumagot si Isaac na kaniyang ama, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, magiging sadya sa taba ng lupa ang iyong tahanan, At sa hamog ng langit mula sa itaas;

40 At sa iyong tabak ay mabubuhay ka, at sa iyong kapatid ay maglilingkod ka; At mangyayari na pagka nakalaya ka, Papagpagin mo sa iyong leeg ang pamatok niya.

41 At kinapootan ni Esau si Jacob, dahil sa basbas na ibinasbas sa kaniya ng kaniyang ama; at sinasabi ni Esau sa sarili, Malapit na ang mga araw ng pagluluksa sa aking ama; kung magkagayo'y papatayin ko si Jacob na aking kapatid.

42 At ang mga salita ni Esau na kaniyang panganay ay nangaibalita kay Rebeca; at kaniyang pinasuguan at tinawag si Jacob, na kaniyang bunso at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Narito, ang iyong kapatid na si Esau ay naaaliw tungkol sa iyo, na inaakalang patayin ka.

43 Ngayon nga, anak ko, sundin mo ang aking tinig; at bumangon ka, at tumakas ka hanggang kay Laban na aking kapatid, sa Haran;

44 At dumoon ka sa kaniyang ilang araw hanggang sa mapawi ang galit ng iyong kapatid.

45 Hanggang ang galit sa iyo, ng iyong kapatid ay mapawi at malimutan niya ang ginawa mo sa kaniya: kung magkagayo'y pasusuguan kita at ipasusundo kita mula roon: bakit kapuwa mawawala kayo sa akin sa isang araw?

46 At sinabi ni Rebeca kay Isaac, Ako'y yamot na sa aking buhay, dahil sa mga anak na babae ni Heth: kung si Jacob ay magasawa sa mga anak ni Heth na gaya ng mga ito, ng mga anak ng lupaing ito, ano pang kabuluhan sa akin ng aking buhay?

27 When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?”

He said to him, “Here I am.”

He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death. Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison. Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”

Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying, ‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’ Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you. Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves. 10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”

11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”

13 His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”

14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved. 15 Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son. 16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck. 17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

18 He came to his father, and said, “My father?”

He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”

19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”

20 Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?”

He said, “Because Yahweh your God gave me success.”

21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”

22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him. 24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?”

He said, “I am.”

25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.”

He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank. 26 His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.” 27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said,

“Behold, the smell of my son
    is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed.
28 God give you of the dew of the sky,
    of the fatness of the earth,
    and plenty of grain and new wine.
29 Let peoples serve you,
    and nations bow down to you.
Be lord over your brothers.
    Let your mother’s sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you.
    Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”

30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31 He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”

32 Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?”

He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”

33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”

34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”

35 He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”

36 He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”

37 Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”

38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

39 Isaac his father answered him,

“Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth,
and of the dew of the sky from above.
40 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother.
It will happen, when you will break loose,
that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”

41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you. 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran. 44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away— 45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”

46 Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”

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.

Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death.(C) Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country(D) to hunt some wild game for me. 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)

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, Rebekah said to her son Jacob,(I) “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau, ‘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) Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you:(K) 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)
