Gen.27.1
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were 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.
Gen.27.1
When Isaac had become an old man and was nearly blind, he called his eldest son, Esau, and said, "My son.Yes, Father?"
Gen.27.1
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him, "My son.Here I am," he answered.
Gen.27.1
Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, "My son." And he answered him, "Here I am."
Gen.27.1
When Isaac was old and almost blind, he called for Esau, his older son, and said, "My son?Yes, Father?" Esau replied.
Gen.27.2
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
Gen.27.2
"I'm an old man," he said; "I might die any day now.
Gen.27.2
Isaac said, "I am now an old man and don't know the day of my death.
Gen.27.2
Then he said, "Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
Gen.27.2
"I am an old man now," Isaac said, "and I expect every day to be my last.
Gen.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;
Gen.27.3
Do me a favor: Get your quiver of arrows and your bow and go out in the country and hunt me some game.
Gen.27.3
Now then, get your weapons-your quiver and bow-and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.
Gen.27.3
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Gen.27.3
Take your bow and a quiver full of arrows out into the open country, and hunt some wild game for me.
Gen.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.
Gen.27.4
Then fix me a hearty meal, the kind that you know I like, and bring it to me to eat so that I can give you my personal blessing before I die."
Gen.27.4
Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing before I die."
Gen.27.4
And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die."
Gen.27.4
Prepare it just the way I like it so it's savory and good, and bring it here for me to eat. Then I will pronounce the blessing that belongs to you, my firstborn son, before I die."
Gen.27.5
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Gen.27.5
Rebekah was eavesdropping as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. As soon as Esau had gone off to the country to hunt game for his father,
Gen.27.5
Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country to hunt game and bring it back,
Gen.27.5
Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.
Gen.27.5
But Rebekah overheard the conversation. So when Esau left to hunt for the wild game,
Gen.27.6
And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
Gen.27.6
Rebekah spoke to her son Jacob. "I just overheard your father talking with your brother, Esau. He said,
Gen.27.6
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau,
Gen.27.6
So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
Gen.27.6
she said to her son Jacob, "I overheard your father asking Esau
Gen.27.7
Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
Gen.27.7
"Bring me some game and fix me a hearty meal so that I can eat and bless you with GOD's blessing before I die.'
Gen.27.7
'Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the LORD before I die.'
Gen.27.7
"Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the LORD before my death.'
Gen.27.7
to prepare him a delicious meal of wild game. He wants to bless Esau in the LORD's presence before he dies.
Gen.27.8
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
Gen.27.8
"Now, my son, listen to me. Do what I tell you.
Gen.27.8
Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you:
Gen.27.8
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.
Gen.27.8
Now, my son, do exactly as I tell you.
Gen.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:
Gen.27.9
Go to the flock and get me two young goats. Pick the best; I'll prepare them into a hearty meal, the kind that your father loves.
Gen.27.9
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it.
Gen.27.9
Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves.
Gen.27.9
Go out to the flocks and bring me two fine young goats. I'll prepare your father's favorite dish from them.
Gen.27.10
And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
Gen.27.10
Then you'll take it to your father, he'll eat and bless you before he dies."
Gen.27.10
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing before he dies."
Gen.27.10
Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death."
Gen.27.10
Take the food to your father; then he can eat it and bless you instead of Esau before he dies."
Gen.27.11
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
Gen.27.11
"But Mother," Jacob said, "my brother Esau is a hairy man and I have smooth skin.
Gen.27.11
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "But my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I'm a man with smooth skin.
Gen.27.11
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man.
Gen.27.11
"But Mother!" Jacob replied. "He won't be fooled that easily. Think how hairy Esau is and how smooth my skin is!
Gen.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.
Gen.27.12
What happens if my father touches me? He'll think I'm playing games with him. I'll bring down a curse on myself instead of a blessing."
Gen.27.12
What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing."
Gen.27.12
Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing."
Gen.27.12
What if my father touches me? He'll see that I'm trying to trick him, and then he'll curse me instead of blessing me."
Gen.27.13
And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
Gen.27.13
"If it comes to that," said his mother, "I'll take the curse on myself. Now, just do what I say. Go and get the goats."
Gen.27.13
His mother said to him, "My son, let the curse fall on me. Just do what I say; go and get them for me."
Gen.27.13
But his mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me."
Gen.27.13
"Let the curse fall on me, dear son," said Rebekah. "Just do what I tell you. Go out and get the goats."
Gen.27.14
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
Gen.27.14
So he went and got them and brought them to his mother and she cooked a hearty meal, the kind his father loved so much.
Gen.27.14
So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.
Gen.27.14
And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
Gen.27.14
So Jacob followed his mother's instructions, bringing her the two goats. She took them and cooked a delicious meat dish, just the way Isaac liked it.
Gen.27.15
And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
Gen.27.15
Rebekah took the dress-up clothes of her older son Esau and put them on her younger son Jacob.
Gen.27.15
Then Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
Gen.27.15
Then Rebekah took the choice clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.
Gen.27.15
Then she took Esau's best clothes, which were there in the house, and dressed Jacob with them.
Gen.27.16
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
Gen.27.16
She took the goatskins and covered his hands and the smooth nape of his neck.
Gen.27.16
She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.
Gen.27.16
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
Gen.27.16
She made him a pair of gloves from the hairy skin of the young goats, and she fastened a strip of the goat's skin around his neck.
Gen.27.17
And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Gen.27.17
Then she placed the hearty meal she had fixed and fresh bread she'd baked into the hands of her son Jacob.
Gen.27.17
Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.
Gen.27.17
Then she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Gen.27.17
Then she gave him the meat dish, with its rich aroma, and some freshly baked bread.
Gen.27.18
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
Gen.27.18
He went to his father and said, "My father!Yes?" he said. "Which son are you?"
Gen.27.18
He went to his father and said, "My father.Yes, my son," he answered. "Who is it?"
Gen.27.18
So he went to his father and said, "My father." And he said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"
Gen.27.18
Jacob carried the platter of food to his father and said, "My father?Yes, my son," he answered. "Who is it--Esau or Jacob?"
Gen.27.19
And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Gen.27.19
Jacob answered his father, "I'm your firstborn son Esau. I did what you told me. Come now; sit up and eat of my game so you can give me your personal blessing."
Gen.27.19
Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game so that you may give me your blessing."
Gen.27.19
Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn; I have done just as you told me; please arise, sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me."
Gen.27.19
Jacob replied, "It's Esau, your older son. I've done as you told me. Here is the wild game, cooked the way you like it. Sit up and eat it so you can give me your blessing."
Gen.27.20
And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
Gen.27.20
Isaac said, "So soon? How did you get it so quickly?Because your GOD cleared the way for me."
Gen.27.20
Isaac asked his son, "How did you find it so quickly, my son?The LORD your God gave me success," he replied.
Gen.27.20
But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" And he said, "Because the LORD your God brought it to me."
Gen.27.20
Isaac asked, "How were you able to find it so quickly, my son?Because the LORD your God put it in my path!" Jacob replied.
Gen.27.21
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.
Gen.27.21
Isaac said, "Come close, son; let me touch you--are you really my son Esau?"
Gen.27.21
Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come near so I can touch you, my son, to know whether you really are my son Esau or not."
Gen.27.21
Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."
Gen.27.21
Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come over here. I want to touch you to make sure you really are Esau."
Gen.27.22
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.
Gen.27.22
So Jacob moved close to his father Isaac. Isaac felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice but the hands are the hands of Esau."
Gen.27.22
Jacob went close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, "The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau."
Gen.27.22
So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."
Gen.27.22
So Jacob went over to his father, and Isaac touched him. "The voice is Jacob's, but the hands are Esau's," Isaac said to himself.
Gen.27.23
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
Gen.27.23
He didn't recognize him because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's. But as he was about to bless him
Gen.27.23
He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
Gen.27.23
And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.
Gen.27.23
But he did not recognize Jacob because Jacob's hands felt hairy just like Esau's. So Isaac pronounced his blessing on Jacob.
Gen.27.24
And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
Gen.27.24
he pressed him, "You're sure? You are my son Esau?Yes. I am."
Gen.27.24
"Are you really my son Esau?" he asked. "I am," he replied.
Gen.27.24
Then he said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He said, "I am."
Gen.27.24
"Are you really my son Esau?" he asked. "Yes, of course," Jacob replied.
Gen.27.25
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.
Gen.27.25
Isaac said, "Bring the food so I can eat of my son's game and give you my personal blessing." Jacob brought it to him and he ate. He also brought him wine and he drank.
Gen.27.25
Then he said, "My son, bring me some of your game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing." Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank.
Gen.27.25
He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's game, so that my soul may bless you." So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Gen.27.25
Then Isaac said, "Now, my son, bring me the meat. I will eat it, and then I will give you my blessing." So Jacob took the food over to his father, and Isaac ate it. He also drank the wine that Jacob served him. Then Isaac said,
Gen.27.26
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
Gen.27.26
Then Isaac said, "Come close, son, and kiss me."
Gen.27.26
Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come here, my son, and kiss me."
Gen.27.26
Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near now and kiss me, my son."
Gen.27.26
"Come here and kiss me, my son."
Gen.27.27
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 son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
Gen.27.27
He came close and kissed him and Isaac smelled the smell of his clothes. Finally, he blessed him, Ahhh. The smell of my son is like the smell of the open country blessed by GOD.
Gen.27.27
So he went to him and kissed him. When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said, "Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
Gen.27.27
And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said: "Surely, the smell of my son Is like the smell of a field Which the LORD has blessed.
Gen.27.27
So Jacob went over and kissed him. And when Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he was finally convinced, and he blessed his son. He said, "The smell of my son is the good smell of the open fields that the LORD has blessed.
Gen.27.28
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
Gen.27.28
May God give you of Heaven's dew and Earth's bounty of grain and wine.
Gen.27.28
May God give you of heaven's dew and of earth's richness- an abundance of grain and new wine.
Gen.27.28
Therefore may God give you Of the dew of heaven, Of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of grain and wine.
Gen.27.28
May God always give you plenty of dew for healthy crops and good harvests of grain and wine.
Gen.27.29
Let people 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 he that blesseth thee.
Gen.27.29
May peoples serve you and nations honor you. You will master your brothers, and your mother's sons will honor you. Those who curse you will be cursed, those who bless you will be blessed.
Gen.27.29
May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed."
Gen.27.29
Let peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you. Be master over your brethren, And let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, And blessed be those who bless you!"
Gen.27.29
May many nations become your servants. May you be the master of your brothers. May all your mother's sons bow low before you. All who curse you are cursed, and all who bless you are blessed."
Gen.27.30
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Gen.27.30
And then right after Isaac had blessed Jacob and Jacob had left, Esau showed up from the hunt.
Gen.27.30
After Isaac finished blessing him and Jacob had scarcely left his father's presence, his brother Esau came in from hunting.
Gen.27.30
Now it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Gen.27.30
As soon as Isaac had blessed Jacob, and almost before Jacob had left his father, Esau returned from his hunting trip.
Gen.27.31
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.
Gen.27.31
He also had prepared a hearty meal. He came to his father and said, "Let my father get up and eat of his son's game, that he may give me his personal blessing."
Gen.27.31
He too prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Then he said to him, "My father, sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give me your blessing."
Gen.27.31
He also had made savory food, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, "Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that your soul may bless me."
Gen.27.31
Esau prepared his father's favorite meat dish and brought it to him. Then he said, "I'm back, Father, and I have the wild game. Sit up and eat it so you can give me your blessing."
Gen.27.32
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
Gen.27.32
His father Isaac said, "And who are you?I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."
Gen.27.32
His father Isaac asked him, "Who are you?I am your son," he answered, "your firstborn, Esau."
Gen.27.32
And his father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" So he said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."
Gen.27.32
But Isaac asked him, "Who are you?Why, it's me, of course!" he replied. "It's Esau, your older son."
Gen.27.33
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.
Gen.27.33
Isaac started to tremble, shaking violently. He said, "Then who hunted game and brought it to me? I finished the meal just now, before you walked in. And I blessed him--he's blessed for good!"
Gen.27.33
Isaac trembled violently and said, "Who was it, then, that hunted game and brought it to me? I ate it just before you came and I blessed him-and indeed he will be blessed!"
Gen.27.33
Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, "Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him--and indeed he shall be blessed."
Gen.27.33
Isaac began to tremble uncontrollably and said, "Then who was it that just served me wild game? I have already eaten it, and I blessed him with an irrevocable blessing before you came."
Gen.27.34
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.
Gen.27.34
Esau, hearing his father's words, sobbed violently and most bitterly, and cried to his father, "My father! Can't you also bless me?"
Gen.27.34
When Esau heard his father's words, he burst out with a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, "Bless me-me too, my father!"
Gen.27.34
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me--me also, O my father!"
Gen.27.34
When Esau understood, he let out a loud and bitter cry. "O my father, bless me, too!" he begged.
Gen.27.35
And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
Gen.27.35
"Your brother," he said, "came here falsely and took your blessing."
Gen.27.35
But he said, "Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing."
Gen.27.35
But he said, "Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing."
Gen.27.35
But Isaac said, "Your brother was here, and he tricked me. He has carried away your blessing."
Gen.27.36
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?
Gen.27.36
Esau said, "Not for nothing was he named Jacob, the Heel. Twice now he's tricked me: first he took my birthright and now he's taken my blessing." He begged, "Haven't you kept back any blessing for me?"
Gen.27.36
Esau said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? He has deceived me these two times: He took my birthright, and now he's taken my blessing!" Then he asked, "Haven't you reserved any blessing for me?"
Gen.27.36
And Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!" And he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"
Gen.27.36
Esau said bitterly, "No wonder his name is Jacob, for he has deceived me twice, first taking my birthright and now stealing my blessing. Oh, haven't you saved even one blessing for me?"
Gen.27.37
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?
Gen.27.37
Isaac answered Esau, "I've made him your master, and all his brothers his servants, and lavished grain and wine on him. I've given it all away. What's left for you, my son?"
Gen.27.37
Isaac answered Esau, "I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. So what can I possibly do for you, my son?"
Gen.27.37
Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, "Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?"
Gen.27.37
Isaac said to Esau, "I have made Jacob your master and have declared that all his brothers will be his servants. I have guaranteed him an abundance of grain and wine--what is there left to give?"
Gen.27.38
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.
Gen.27.38
"But don't you have just one blessing for me, Father? Oh, bless me my father! Bless me!" Esau sobbed inconsolably.
Gen.27.38
Esau said to his father, "Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!" Then Esau wept aloud.
Gen.27.38
And Esau said to his father, "Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me--me also, O my father!" And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
Gen.27.38
Esau pleaded, "Not one blessing left for me? O my father, bless me, too!" Then Esau broke down and wept.
Gen.27.39
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;
Gen.27.39
Isaac said to him, You'll live far from Earth's bounty, remote from Heaven's dew.
Gen.27.39
His father Isaac answered him, "Your dwelling will be away from the earth's richness, away from the dew of heaven above.
Gen.27.39
Then Isaac his father answered and said to him: "Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above.
Gen.27.39
His father, Isaac, said to him, "You will live off the land and what it yields,
Gen.27.40
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
Gen.27.40
You'll live by your sword, hand-to-mouth, and you'll serve your brother. But when you can't take it any more you'll break loose and run free.
Gen.27.40
