Genesis 27 📜 📕 ↷
6 she said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:📜💬📚
7 Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of our Lord before I die.📜💬📚
8 Now therefore, my son, assent to my counsel:📜💬📚
9 and go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:📜💬📚
10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.📜💬📚
11 To whom he answered: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is hairy man, and I am smooth:📜💬📚
12 if my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have deluded him, and I shall bring upon me a curse for a blessing.📜💬📚
13 To whom his mother said: This curse, my son, light upon me, only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.📜💬📚
14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, even as she knew his father liked.📜💬📚
15 And she did on him the garments of Esau very good, which she had at home with her:📜💬📚
16 and the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.📜💬📚
17 And she gave him the broth, and delivered him bread that she had baked.📜💬📚
18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou my son?📜💬📚
19 And Jacob said: I am thy first begotten Esau: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit, and eat of my hunting, that thy soul may bless me.📜💬📚
20 And again Isaac to his son: How couldest thou, said he, find it so quickly, my son? Who answered: It was the will of God that that which I would, came quickly in my way.📜💬📚
21 And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.📜💬📚
22 He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice verily, is the voice of Jacob: but the hands are the hands of Esau.📜💬📚
23 And he knew him not, because his hairy hands had made him like unto the elder. Blessing him therefore,📜💬📚
