Genesis 27
Revised Geneva Translation
27 And when Isaac was old and his eyes were dim (so that he could not see), he called Esau, his eldest son, and said to him, “My son.” And he answered him, “I am here.”
2 Then he said, “Behold, I am now old and do not know the day of my death.
3 “Therefore, now, please take your instruments — your quiver and your bow — and get to the field, so that you may hunt food.
4 “Then make me savory meat (such as I love) and bring it to me so that I may eat, so that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5 Now, Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau, his son. And Esau went into the field to hunt for food, and to bring it.
6 Then, Rebekah spoke to Jacob, her son, saying, “Behold, I have heard your father talking with Esau, your brother, saying,
7 “‘Bring me food, and make me savory meat, so that I may eat and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
8 “Now, therefore, my son, hear my voice in that which I command you.
9 “Get to the flock now and bring me two good kids from the goats there, so that I may make pleasant meat from them for your father (such as he loves).
10 “Then you shall bring it to your father; and he shall eat, to the intent that he may bless you before his death.”
11 But Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, “Behold, Esau, my brother, is rough; and I am smooth.
12 “My father may possibly feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver. So shall I bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing.”
13 But his mother said to him, “May your curse be upon me, my son. Only hear my voice; and go and bring them to me.”
14 So he went and got them and brought them to his mother. And his mother made pleasant meat, such as his father loved.
15 And Rebekah took fair clothes of her elder son, Esau, which were in her house, and clothed Jacob, her younger son.
16 And she covered his hands and the smooth of his neck with the skins of the kids of the goats.
17 Afterward, she put the pleasant meat and bread which she had prepared in the hand of her son, Jacob.
18 And when he came to his father, he said, “My father.” Who answered, “I am here. Who are you, my son?”
19 And Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you bid me. Please rise. Sit up and eat my food, so that your soul may bless me.”
20 Then Isaac said to his son, “How have you found it so quickly, my son?” Who said, “Because the LORD your God brought it to my hand.”
21 Again, Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near now, so that I may feel you, my son, whether you are my son, Esau, or not.”
22 Then Jacob came 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.”
23 (For he did not know him because his hands were rough, as his brother Esau’s hands. Therefore, he blessed him.)
24 Again he said, “Are you my son, Esau?” Who answered, “Yes.”
25 Then he said, “Bring it here to me and I will eat of my son’s food, so that my soul may bless you.” And he brought it to him; and he ate. Also, he brought him wine; and he drank.
26 Afterward, his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.”
27 And he came near and kissed him. Then he smelled the savor of his garments and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.
28 “Therefore, God give you of the dew of Heaven, and the fatness of the Earth, and plenty of wheat and wine.
29 “Let people be your servants and nations bow down to you. Be Lord over your brothers and let your mother’s children honor you. Cursed be he who curses you; and blessed be he who blesses you.”
30 And when Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob and Jacob had barely gone out from the presence of Isaac, his father, then Esau, his brother, came from his hunting.
31 And he also prepared savory meat and brought it to his father, and said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son’s food, so that your soul may bless me.”
32 But his father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” And he answered, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33 Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, “Who and where is he who hunted food and brought it to me; and I have eaten of all before you came? And I have blessed him; therefore, he shall be blessed.”
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with a great cry and bitter, out of measure, and said to his father, “Bless me, me also, my father.”
35 Who answered, “Your brother came with subtlety and has taken away your blessing.”
36 Then he said, “Was he not justly called “Jacob”? For he has deceived me these two times. He took my birthright; and lo, now has he taken my blessing.” Also, he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
37 Then Isaac answered, and said to Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord; and I have made all his brothers his servants. And I have furnished him with wheat and wine. And what now shall I do for you, my son?”
38 Then Esau said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me; me, also, my father.” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
39 Then Isaac, his father, answered, and said to him, “Behold, the fatness of the Earth shall be your dwelling place, and you shall have of the dew of Heaven from above.
40 “And by your word you shall live and shall be your brother’s servant. But it shall come to pass, when you shall get restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
41 Therefore Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. And Esau thought in his mind, “The days of mourning for my father will come shortly. Then I will kill my brother, Jacob.”
42 And the words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother, Esau, is comforting himself by plotting to kill you.
43 “Now therefore my son, hear my voice. Arise and flee to Haran, to my brother Laban,
44 “and stay with him a while, until your brother’s fierceness is assuaged,
45 “and until your brother’s wrath turns away from you and he forget the things which you have done to him. Then I will send and take you from there. Why should I be deprived of you both in one day?”
46 Also, 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 like these of the daughters of the land, what good will my life be?”

Jacó rouba a bênção de Esaú
27 Certo dia, quando Isaque era velho e estava ficando cego, chamou Esaú, seu filho mais velho: “Meu filho!”.
Esaú respondeu: “Aqui estou!”.
2 Isaque disse: “Estou velho e não sei quando vou morrer. 3 Pegue suas armas, o arco e as flechas, e vá ao campo caçar um animal para mim. 4 Depois, prepare meu prato favorito e traga-o aqui para eu comer. Então pronunciarei a bênção que pertence a você, meu filho mais velho, antes de eu morrer”.
5 Rebeca, porém, ouviu o que Isaque tinha dito a seu filho Esaú. Quando Esaú saiu para caçar, 6 ela disse a seu filho Jacó: “Ouvi seu pai dizer a Esaú: 7 ‘Traga-me uma carne de caça e prepare-me uma refeição saborosa. Então abençoarei você na presença do Senhor antes de eu morrer’. 8 Agora, meu filho, preste atenção e faça exatamente o que lhe direi. 9 Vá ao rebanho e traga-me dois dos melhores cabritos. Eu os usarei para preparar o prato favorito de seu pai. 10 Depois, leve a comida para seu pai, para que ele a coma e o abençoe antes de morrer”.
11 Jacó respondeu a Rebeca: “Mas meu irmão Esaú é peludo, enquanto eu tenho pele lisa. 12 E se meu pai me tocar? Perceberá que estou tentando enganá-lo e, em vez de me abençoar, me amaldiçoará!”.
13 Sua mãe, porém, respondeu: “Que caia sobre mim essa maldição, meu filho! Apenas faça o que lhe digo. Vá e traga-me os cabritos”.
14 Jacó foi e trouxe os cabritos para sua mãe. Rebeca os usou para preparar uma refeição saborosa, do jeito que Isaque gostava. 15 Em seguida, pegou as roupas prediletas de Esaú que estavam na casa dela e as entregou a Jacó, seu filho mais novo. 16 Com a pele dos cabritos, cobriu-lhe os braços e a parte lisa do pescoço. 17 Depois, entregou-lhe a refeição saborosa, acompanhada do pão que havia acabado de assar.
18 Jacó levou a comida para o pai e disse: “Meu pai?”.
“Sim, meu filho”, respondeu Isaque. “Quem é você, Esaú ou Jacó?”
19 Jacó disse: “Sou Esaú, seu filho mais velho. Fiz o que o senhor mandou. Aqui está a carne de caça. Sente-se e coma, para que me dê sua bênção”.
20 Isaque perguntou: “Como encontrou a caça tão depressa, meu filho?”.
Jacó respondeu: “O Senhor, seu Deus, a colocou no meu caminho”.
21 Então Isaque disse a Jacó: “Chegue mais perto, para que eu possa tocá-lo e ter certeza de que você é mesmo Esaú”. 22 Jacó se aproximou do pai, e Isaque o tocou e disse: “A voz é de Jacó, mas as mãos são de Esaú”. 23 Não o reconheceu, porém, pois as mãos de Jacó estavam peludas, como as de Esaú. Assim, Isaque se preparou para abençoar Jacó. 24 “Mas você é mesmo meu filho Esaú?”, perguntou ele.
“Sim, eu sou”, respondeu Jacó.
25 Então Isaque disse: “Agora, meu filho, traga-me a carne de caça. Depois que comer, eu lhe darei a minha bênção”. Jacó trouxe a comida para o pai, e Isaque comeu. Também bebeu o vinho que Jacó lhe serviu. 26 Por fim, Isaque disse a Jacó: “Aproxime-se, por favor, e dê-me um beijo, meu filho”.
27 Jacó se aproximou e o beijou. Quando Isaque sentiu o cheiro das roupas, finalmente abençoou o filho. Disse: “Ah! O cheiro de meu filho é como o cheiro do campo que o Senhor abençoou!
28 “Do orvalho do céu
e da riqueza da terra,
Deus lhe conceda fartas colheitas de cereais
e vinho novo de sobra.
29 Que muitas nações o sirvam
e se curvem à sua frente.
Que você seja senhor de seus irmãos
e os filhos de sua mãe se curvem à sua frente.
Todos que o amaldiçoarem serão amaldiçoados,
e todos que o abençoarem serão abençoados”.
30 Assim que Isaque terminou de abençoar Jacó, e logo depois de Jacó ter saído da presença de seu pai, Esaú voltou da caçada. 31 Preparou uma refeição saborosa, levou-a para seu pai e disse: “Sente-se, meu pai, e coma da minha caça, para me abençoar”.
32 Isaque lhe perguntou: “Quem é você?”.
Ele respondeu: “Sou Esaú, seu filho mais velho”.
33 Isaque começou a tremer incontrolavelmente e disse: “Então quem me serviu a carne de caça? Acabei de comê-la, pouco antes de você chegar, e abençoei quem a trouxe. Essa bênção deve permanecer!”.
34 Quando Esaú ouviu as palavras do pai, soltou um forte grito amargurado e suplicou: “Ah, meu pai, e eu? Abençoe-me também!”.
35 Mas Isaque disse: “Seu irmão esteve aqui e me enganou. Levou embora a bênção que pertencia a você!”.
36 Esaú exclamou: “Não é de admirar que ele se chame Jacó, pois é a segunda vez que me engana.[a] Primeiro, tomou meus direitos de filho mais velho e, agora, roubou minha bênção. O senhor não guardou uma bênção sequer para mim?”.
37 Isaque disse a Esaú: “Fiz de Jacó o seu senhor e declarei que todos os irmãos dele o servirão. Garanti a ele fartura de cereais e vinho. O que me resta para dar a você, meu filho?”.
38 Esaú suplicou: “Por acaso o senhor tem apenas uma bênção? Ah, meu pai, abençoe-me também!”. Então Esaú chorou em alta voz.
39 Por fim, seu pai, Isaque, lhe disse:
“Você viverá longe das riquezas da terra
e longe do orvalho do alto céu.
40 Viverá por sua espada
e servirá a seu irmão.
Quando, porém, conseguir se libertar,
sacudirá do pescoço esse jugo”.
Jacó foge para Padã-Arã
41 Daquele momento em diante, Esaú passou a odiar Jacó porque seu pai o havia abençoado. Começou a tramar: “Em breve meu pai morrerá. Então, matarei meu irmão Jacó”.
42 Quando Rebeca soube das intenções de Esaú, mandou chamar Jacó e lhe disse: “Ouça, Esaú se consola com planos para matar você. 43 Portanto, preste atenção, meu filho. Apronte-se e fuja para a casa de meu irmão Labão, em Harã. 44 Fique lá até que diminua a fúria de seu irmão. 45 Quando ele se acalmar e se esquecer do que você lhe fez, mandarei buscá-lo. Por que eu perderia meus dois filhos no mesmo dia?”.
46 Depois, Rebeca disse a Isaque: “Estou cansada dessas mulheres hititas que vivem aqui! Prefiro morrer a ver Jacó se casar com uma delas!”.

Genesis 27
New International Version
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)
