1 And coming it is that old is Isaac, dim-sighted are his eyes. And calling is he Esau, his elder son, and is saying to him, "My son!"And saying is he to him, "Behold me!"
2 And saying is he, "Behold, pray! Old am I, and not know do I the day of my death.
3 And now, pray, lift up your gear, your hanger and your bow, and fare forth to the field and hunt game for me,
4 and make for me tasties, such as I love, and bring them to me, and eat will I, in order that my soul may bless you ere I die.
5 And Rebecca is hearing Isaac speaking to Esau, his son. And going is Esau to the field to hunt game for his father.
6 And Rebecca spoke to Jacob, her son, the inferior in station, saying, "Behold! I heard your father speaking to Esau, your brother, saying,
7 `Bring me game and make for me tasties, and eat will I and bless you will I before Yahweh before my death..
8 And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I am instructing you.
9 Go, pray, to the flock, and take for me thence two kids of the goats, tender and good, and I will make of them tasties for your father, such as he loves,
10 And you shall bring them to your father, and eat will he, in order that your father may bless you before his death.
11 And saying is Jacob to Rebecca, his mother, "Behold! Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am a slick man.
12 Perhaps my father will feel me, and become will I in his eyes as one who leads him astray, and I bring on me a slight and not a blessing.
13 And saying to him is his mother, "On me be your slight, my son. Yea, hearken to my voice and go. Take them for me.
14 And going is he and taking and bringing them to his mother. And making is his mother tasties, such as his father loves.
15 And taking is Rebecca the coveted garments of Esau, her elder son, which are with her in the house, and is putting them on Jacob, her smaller son.
16 And the skins of the kids of the goats she puts on his hands and on the slick of his neck.
17 And giving is she the tasties and the bread which she made into the hand of Jacob, her son.
18 And coming is he to his father and saying, "My father!"And saying is he, "Behold me! Who are you, my son?
19 And saying is Jacob to his father, "I am Esau, your firstborn. I did as you spoke to me. Rise, pray! Sit and eat of my game, in order that your soul may be blessing me.
20 And saying is Isaac to his son, "What is this? You hasted to find it, my son!"And saying is he, "For Yahweh, your Elohim, caused it to happen before me.
21 And saying is Isaac to Jacob, "Come close, pray, and I will feel you, my son. Is this you, my son Esau, or not?
22 And close is Jacob coming to Isaac, his father. And feeling him is he and saying, "The voice is the voice of Jacob, yet the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 Yet he did not identify him, for his hands are become as the hands of Esau, his brother, hairy. And blessing him is he.
24 And saying is he, "This is you, my son Esau?And saying is he, "I am.
25 And saying is he, "Bring it close to me, and I will eat of my son's game, that my soul may be blessing you.And close is he bringing it to him, and he is eating. And he is bringing him wine, and he is drinking.
26 And saying to him is Isaac, his father, "Come close, pray, and kiss me, my son.
27 And close is he coming and kissing him. And smelling is he the smell of his garments and is blessing him, saying, "See! The smell of my son is as the smell of the full field blessed by Yahweh.
28 And give you will the Elohim the night mist of the heavens. And the oil of the earth, and much grain and grape juice.
29 Serve you shall peoples, and down shall bow to you the folkstems. Master be you over your brothers, and down to you shall bow the sons of your mother, One cursing you is accursed. And one blessing you is blessed!"
30 And coming is it, as Isaac finishes blessing Jacob, his son, and coming, yea barely forth, is Jacob from the face of Isaac, his father, when Esau, his brother, comes from his hunting.
31 And making tasties is he, moreover, and is bringing them to his father. And saying is he to his father, "Rise will my father and eat of his son's game, in order that bless me will your soul.
32 And saying to him is Isaac, his father, "Who are you?And saying is he, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.
33 And trembling is Isaac, a trembling, great unto excess. And saying is he, "Who, indeed, was he, the hunter of game who brought it to me, and I ate of all ere you came, and bless him did I? And, moreover, blessed shall he be!"
34 And coming is it, as Esau hears the words of his father Isaac, that crying is he a cry great and bitter unto excess. And saying is he to his father, "Bless me, me moreover, my father!"
35 And saying is he to him, "Your brother came with deceit, and he has taken your blessing.
36 And saying is he, "Because he calls his name Jacob, is it that he is circumventing me already this twice? My birthright took he. And behold! Now he takes my blessing!"And saying is Esau to his father, "Have you not besides a blessing for me?
37 And answering is Isaac and saying to Esau, "Behold! As master have I placed him over you, and all of his brothers have I given to him for servants, and with grain and grape juice I support him. And for you, indeed, what shall I do, my son?
38 And saying is Esau to his father, "Your one blessing is it, my father? Bless me, me moreover, my father!"Yet silent is Isaac, and lifting is Esau his voice and is lamenting.
39 And answering is Isaac, his father, and saying to him, "Behold! Away from the oil of the earth is coming to be your dwelling, and from the night mist of the heavens above.
40 And by your sword shall you live, and your brother shall you serve. Yet it comes, as you are caused to sway, you also break off his yoke off your neck.
41 And a grudge is Esau holding against Jacob on account of the blessing with which his father blesses him. And saying is Esau in his heart, "Approaching are the days of mourning for my father, when I will kill Jacob, my brother.
42 And told to Rebecca are the words of Esau, her elder son. And sending is she, and calling for Jacob, her smaller son, and saying is she to him, "Behold! Esau, your brother, is consoling himself as to you, intending to kill you.
43 And now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, run away by yourself to Syria, to Laban, my brother, to Charan.
44 And dwell with him several days, till back is turning your brother's fury,
45 till back turns your brother's anger from you, and forgotten has he what you did to him, and I send and take you thence. Why shall I be bereaved, moreover, of you two in one day?
46 And saying is Rebecca to Isaac, "Irritated am I in my life because of the presence of the daughters of the sons of Heth. Should Jacob take a wife such as these from the daughters of Heth, from the daughters of the land, what has life for me?
