Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loveth:
and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so that he may bless thee before his death.

And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son; only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
And Rebekah took the goodly garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son;

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.
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.
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
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.
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said,See, the smell of my sonIs as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed:
And God give thee of the dew of heaven,And of the fatness of the earth,And plenty of grain and new wine:
Let peoples serve thee,And nations bow down to thee:Be lord over thy brethren,And let thy mother's sons bow down to thee:Cursed be every one that curseth thee,And blessed be every one that blesseth thee.

And he said, Thy brother came with guile, and hath taken away thy blessing.
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?
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 grain and new wine have I sustained him: and what then shall I do for thee, my son?
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.
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him,Behold, {Or, away from}of the fatness of the earth shall be thy dwelling,And {Or, away from}of the dew of heaven from above.
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and thou shalt serve thy brother;And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt break loose,That thou shalt shake his yoke from off thy neck.

and tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;

And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
