and let us make a covenant with thee;
26:29 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.

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.
27:2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy
bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
27:4 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.

bless thee before the LORD before my death.
27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I
command thee.
27:9 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:
27:10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that
he may bless thee before his death.

hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
27:12 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.
27:13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only
obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
27:14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his
mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
