Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
10 Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear:
(A)Forget your people and your father’s house;
11 Then the King will desire your beauty.
Because He is your (B)Lord, (C)bow down to Him.
12 The daughter of (D)Tyre will come with a present;
The (E)rich among the people will seek your favor.
13 The King’s daughter is all glorious within her chamber;
Her clothing is (F)interwoven with gold.
14 She will be (G)led to the King (H)in embroidered work;
The (I)virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
15 They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King’s palace.
Isaac Blesses Jacob and Esau
18 Then he came to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?” 19 And Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you told me. (A)Rise up, please, sit and eat of my game, that (B)your soul may bless me.” 20 Then Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “(C)Because Yahweh your God caused it to happen to me.” 21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that (D)I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.” 22 So Jacob came near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 And he did not recognize him because his hands were (E)hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him. 24 And he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he said, “I am.” 25 So he said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, that (F)my soul may bless you.” And he brought it near to him, and he ate; he also brought him wine, and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.” 27 So he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his garments, and then he (G)blessed him and said,
“See, (H)the smell of my son
Is like the smell of a field (I)which Yahweh has blessed;
28 Now may (J)God give you of the dew of heaven,
And of the (K)fatness of the earth,
And an abundance of grain and new wine;
29 (L)May peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you;
(M)Be master of your brothers,
(N)And may your mother’s sons bow down to you.
(O)Cursed be those who curse you,
And blessed be those who bless you.”
21 (A)At that very [a]time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I [b]praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. 22 (B)All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and (C)no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
23 (D)And turning to the disciples, He said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see, 24 for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.”
