Genesis 27 (WEBP)

[1] When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
[2] He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.
[3] Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
[4] Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”
[5] Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
[6] Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
[7] ‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’
[8] Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
[9] Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.
[10] You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
[11] Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
[12] What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”
[13] His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
[14] He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
[15] Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
[16] She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
[17] She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
[18] He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
[19] Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”
[20] Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Yahweh your God gave me success.”
[21] Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
[22] Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
[23] He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
[24] He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
[25] He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
[26] His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
[27] He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed.
[28] God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
[29] Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
[30] As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
[31] He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”
[32] Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
[33] Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”
[34] When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
[35] He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
[36] He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”
[37] Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”
[38] Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
[39] Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from above.
[40] You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
[41] Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
[42] The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
[43] Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
[44] Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
[45] until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”
[46] 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, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”

[21] 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.
[22] 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.
[23] And he discerned () him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed () him.
[24] And he said, () Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, () I am.
[25] 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. ()
[26] And his father Isaac said () unto him, Come near () now, and kiss () me, my son.

[31] And he also had made () savoury meat, and brought it () unto his father, and said () unto his father, Let my father arise, () and eat () of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless () me.
[32] And Isaac his father said () unto him, Who art thou? And he said, () I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
[33] And Isaac trembled () very exceedingly, and said, () Who? where is he that hath taken () venison, and brought () it me, and I have eaten () of all before thou camest, () and have blessed () him? yea, and he shall be blessed. ()
[34] And when Esau heard () the words of his father, he cried () with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said () unto his father, Bless () me, even me also, O my father.
[35] And he said, () Thy brother came () with subtilty, and hath taken away () thy blessing.
[36] And he said, () Is not he rightly named () Jacob? for he hath supplanted me () these two times: he took away () my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away () my blessing. And he said, () Hast thou not reserved () a blessing for me?
[37] And Isaac answered () and said () unto Esau, Behold, I have made () him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given () to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained () him: and what shall I do () now unto thee, my son?
[38] And Esau said () unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless () me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up () his voice, and wept. ()
[39] And Isaac his father answered () and said () unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above;

[1] εγενετο δε μετα το γηρασαι ισαακ και ημβλυνθησαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτου του οραν και εκαλεσεν ησαυ τον υιον αυτου τον πρεσβυτερον και ειπεν αυτω υιε μου και ειπεν ιδου εγω
[2] και ειπεν ιδου γεγηρακα και ου γινωσκω την ημεραν της τελευτης μου
[3] νυν ουν λαβε το σκευος σου την τε φαρετραν και το τοξον και εξελθε εις το πεδιον και θηρευσον μοι θηραν
[4] και ποιησον μοι εδεσματα ως φιλω εγω και ενεγκε μοι ινα φαγω οπως ευλογηση σε η ψυχη μου πριν αποθανειν με
[5] ρεβεκκα δε ηκουσεν λαλουντος ισαακ προς ησαυ τον υιον αυτου επορευθη δε ησαυ εις το πεδιον θηρευσαι θηραν τω πατρι αυτου
[6] ρεβεκκα δε ειπεν προς ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον ελασσω ιδε εγω ηκουσα του πατρος σου λαλουντος προς ησαυ τον αδελφον σου λεγοντος
[7] ενεγκον μοι θηραν και ποιησον μοι εδεσματα και φαγων ευλογησω σε εναντιον κυριου προ του αποθανειν με
[8] νυν ουν υιε ακουσον μου καθα εγω σοι εντελλομαι
[9] και πορευθεις εις τα προβατα λαβε μοι εκειθεν δυο εριφους απαλους και καλους και ποιησω αυτους εδεσματα τω πατρι σου ως φιλει
[10] και εισοισεις τω πατρι σου και φαγεται οπως ευλογηση σε ο πατηρ σου προ του αποθανειν αυτον
[11] ειπεν δε ιακωβ προς ρεβεκκαν την μητερα αυτου εστιν ησαυ ο αδελφος μου ανηρ δασυς εγω δε ανηρ λειος
[12] μηποτε ψηλαφηση με ο πατηρ μου και εσομαι εναντιον αυτου ως καταφρονων και επαξω επ εμαυτον καταραν και ουκ ευλογιαν
[13] ειπεν δε αυτω η μητηρ επ εμε η καταρα σου τεκνον μονον υπακουσον της φωνης μου και πορευθεις ενεγκε μοι
[14] πορευθεις δε ελαβεν και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι και εποιησεν η μητηρ αυτου εδεσματα καθα εφιλει ο πατηρ αυτου
[15] και λαβουσα ρεβεκκα την στολην ησαυ του υιου αυτης του πρεσβυτερου την καλην η ην παρ αυτη εν τω οικω ενεδυσεν ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον
[16] και τα δερματα των εριφων περιεθηκεν επι τους βραχιονας αυτου και επι τα γυμνα του τραχηλου αυτου
[17] και εδωκεν τα εδεσματα και τους αρτους ους εποιησεν εις τας χειρας ιακωβ του υιου αυτης
[18] και εισηνεγκεν τω πατρι αυτου ειπεν δε πατερ ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω τις ει συ τεκνον
[19] και ειπεν ιακωβ τω πατρι αυτου εγω ησαυ ο πρωτοτοκος σου εποιησα καθα ελαλησας μοι αναστας καθισον και φαγε της θηρας μου οπως ευλογηση με η ψυχη σου
[20] ειπεν δε ισαακ τω υιω αυτου τι τουτο ο ταχυ ευρες ω τεκνον ο δε ειπεν ο παρεδωκεν κυριος ο θεος σου εναντιον μου
[21] ειπεν δε ισαακ τω ιακωβ εγγισον μοι και ψηλαφησω σε τεκνον ει συ ει ο υιος μου ησαυ η ου
[22] ηγγισεν δε ιακωβ προς ισαακ τον πατερα αυτου και εψηλαφησεν αυτον και ειπεν η μεν φωνη φωνη ιακωβ αι δε χειρες χειρες ησαυ
[23] και ουκ επεγνω αυτον ησαν γαρ αι χειρες αυτου ως αι χειρες ησαυ του αδελφου αυτου δασειαι και ηυλογησεν αυτον
[24] και ειπεν συ ει ο υιος μου ησαυ ο δε ειπεν εγω
[25] και ειπεν προσαγαγε μοι και φαγομαι απο της θηρας σου τεκνον ινα ευλογηση σε η ψυχη μου και προσηγαγεν αυτω και εφαγεν και εισηνεγκεν αυτω οινον και επιεν
[26] και ειπεν αυτω ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου εγγισον μοι και φιλησον με τεκνον
[27] και εγγισας εφιλησεν αυτον και ωσφρανθη την οσμην των ιματιων αυτου και ηυλογησεν αυτον και ειπεν ιδου οσμη του υιου μου ως οσμη αγρου πληρους ον ηυλογησεν κυριος
[28] και δωη σοι ο θεος απο της δροσου του ουρανου και απο της πιοτητος της γης και πληθος σιτου και οινου
[29] και δουλευσατωσαν σοι εθνη και προσκυνησουσιν σοι αρχοντες και γινου κυριος του αδελφου σου και προσκυνησουσιν σοι οι υιοι του πατρος σου ο καταρωμενος σε επικαταρατος ο δε ευλογων σε ευλογημενος
