01:026:028 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee:
and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt
us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
01:026:029 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and
as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee
away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
01:026:030 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
01:026:031 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to
another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him
in peace.
01:026:032 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came,
and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and
said unto him, We have found water.
01:026:033 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is
Beersheba unto this day.
01:026:034 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the
daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of
Elon the Hittite:
01:026:035 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
01:027:001 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.
01:027:002 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my
death:
01:027:003 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and
thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
01:027:004 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.
01:027:005 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau
went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
01:027:006 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard
thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
01:027:007 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat,
and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
01:027:008 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I
command thee.
01:027:009 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:
01:027:010 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and
that he may bless thee before his death.
01:027:011 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother
is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
01:027:012 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.
