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.
01:027:013 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son:
only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
01:027:014 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother:
and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
01:027:015 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:
01:027:016 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his
hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
01:027:017 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had
prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
01:027:018 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he
said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
01:027:019 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.
01:027:020 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.
01:027:021 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.
01:027:022 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.
01:027:023 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as
his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
01:027:024 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
01:027:025 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.
01:027:026 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss
me, my son.
