When Isaac had grown old, and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he summoned his elder son Esau. Son! he said.

And Esau replied, Here I am.

He then said, Look, I am an old man and do not know when I may die. Now take your weapons, your quiver and your bow; go out into the country and hunt me some game. Make me the kind of appetising dish I like and bring it to me, and I will give you my special blessing before I die.

Rebekah was listening while Isaac was talking to his son Esau.

骑士公主 2007-12-95楼
When Esau went into the country to hunt game for his father, Rebekah said to her son Jacob, I just heard your father saying to your brother Esau, "Bring me some game and make an appetising dish for me to eat and then I shall bless you in Yahwehs presence before I die."

骑士公主 2007-12-96楼
Now, son, listen to me and do as I tell you. Go to the flock and bring me back two good kids of the goats, so that I can make the kind of special dish your father likes. Then take it to your father for him to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.

Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, Look, my brother Esau is hairy, while I am smooth-skinned. If my father happens to touch me, he will see I am cheating him, and I shall bring a curse down on myself instead of a blessing.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-98楼
But his mother replied, On me be the curse, my son! Just listen to me; go and fetch me the kids.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-99楼
So he went and to fetch them and brought them to his mother and she made the kind of special dish his father liked.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-910楼
Rebekah took her elder son Esaus best clothes, which she had at home, and dressed her son Jacob in them, covering his arms and the smooth parts of his neck with the skins of the kids.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-911楼
She then handed the special dish and bread she had made to her son Jacob.

骑士公主 2007-12-912楼
He went to his father and said, Father!
-
骑士公主 2007-12-913楼
Yes? he replied. Which of my sons are you?
-
骑士公主 2007-12-914楼
Jacob replied to his father, I am Esau your first-born; I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of the game I have brought and then give me your souls blessing.

骑士公主 2007-12-915楼
Isaac said to his son, Son, how did you succeed so quickly? He replied, Because Yahweh your God made things go well for me.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-916楼
Isaac said to Jacob, Come closer, son, so that I can feel you and be sure whether you really are my son Esau or not.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-917楼
Jacob went closer to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, The voice is Jacobs but the arms are the arms of Esau!
-
骑士公主 2007-12-918楼
He said, Are you really my son Esau?
-
骑士公主 2007-12-919楼
And he replied, I am.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-920楼
Issac said, Serve it to me so that I can eat my sons game and give you my special blessing.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-921楼
He served it to him, and he ate; he offered him wine, and he drank.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-922楼
His father Isaac said to him, Come closer, and kiss me, son.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-923楼
He went closer and kissed his father, who sniffed the smell of his clothes.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-924楼
Then he blessed him, saying, Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a fertile field which Yahweh has blessed. May God give you dew from heaven, and richness of the earth, abundance of grain and wine! Let other peoples serve you and nations bow low before you! Be master of your brothers; let your mothers other sons bow low before you! Accursed be whoever curses you and blessed be whoever blesses you!

骑士公主 2007-12-925楼
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and just as Jacob was leaving his father Isaac, his brother Esau returned from hunting.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-926楼
He too made an appetising dish and brought it to his father, Father, please eat some of your sons game and then give me your special blessing.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-927楼
His father asked, Who are you? I am your first-born son, Esau, he replied.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-928楼
At this Isaac was filled with a violent trembling and said, Who was it, then, that went hunting and brought me the game? I finished eating it just before you came; I blessed him, and now blessed he will remain!
-
骑士公主 2007-12-929楼
On hearing his fathers words, Esau cried out loudly and bitterly and said to his father, Father, bless me too! Have you not kept a blessing for me?
-
骑士公主 2007-12-930楼
Isaac replied to Esau, I have already made him your master. So what can I do for you?
-
骑士公主 2007-12-931楼
Esau said to his father, Can you bless only once, father? Father, bless me too.
-
骑士公主 2007-12-932楼
Isaac remained silent, and Esau began to weep aloud. Then his father Isaac spoke again and said, Far from the richness of earth and the dew of heaven above, your home will be. By your sword you shall live, and your brother will you serve.

Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him, and Esau said to himself, The time to mourn for my father will soon be here. Then I shall kill my brother Jacob.
