Jacob's Deception

1And it came to pass,that when Isaacwas old,and his eyeswere dim,so that he could not see,he calledEsauhis eldestson,and saidunto him, My son:and he saidunto him, Behold, [here am] I.2And he said,Behold now, I am old,I knownot the dayof my death:3Now therefore take,I pray thee, thy weapons,thy quiverand thy bow,and go outto the field,and takeme [some] venison;4And makeme savoury meat,such asI love,and bring[it] to me, that I may eat;that my soulmay blessthee beforeI die.

5And Rebekahheardwhen Isaacspaketo Esauhis son.And Esauwentto the fieldto hunt[for] venison,[and] to bring[it].6And Rebekahspakeunto Jacobher son,saying,Behold, I heardthy fatherspeakunto Esauthy brother,saying,7Bringme venison,and makeme savoury meat,that I may eat,and blessthee beforethe LORDbeforemy death.8Now therefore, my son,obeymy voiceaccording to that whichI commandthee.9Gonow to the flock,and fetchme from thence twogoodkidsof the goats;and I will makethem savoury meatfor thy father,such as he loveth:10And thou shalt bring[it] to thy father,that he may eat,and thathe may blessthee beforehis death.11And Jacobsaidto Rebekahhis mother,Behold, Esaumy brother[is] a hairyman,and I [am] a smoothman:12My fatherperadventure will feelme, and I shall seemto him as a deceiver;and I shall bringa curseupon me, and not a blessing.13And his mothersaidunto him, Upon me [be] thy curse,my son:only obeymy voice,and gofetchme [them].14And he went,and fetched,and brought[them] to his mother:and his mothermadesavoury meat,such as his fatherloved.15And Rebekahtookgoodlyraimentof her eldestsonEsau,which [were] with her in the house,and put them uponJacobher youngerson:16And she putthe skinsof the kidsof the goatsupon his hands,and upon the smoothof his neck:17And she gavethe savoury meatand the bread,which she had prepared,into the handof her sonJacob.

18And he cameunto his father,and said,My father:and he said,Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?

Isaac Blesses Jacob

19And Jacobsaidunto his father,I [am] Esauthy firstborn;I have doneaccording as thou badestme: arise,I pray thee, sitand eatof my venison,that thy soulmay blessme.20And Isaacsaidunto his son,How [is it] that thou hast found[it] so quickly,my son?And he said,Because the LORDthy Godbrought[it] to me.21And Isaacsaidunto Jacob,Come near,I pray thee, that I may feelthee, my son,whether thou [be] my verysonEsauor not.22And Jacobwent nearunto Isaachis father;and he felthim, and said,The voice[is] Jacob'svoice,but the hands[are] the handsof Esau.23And he discernedhim not, because his handswere hairy,as his brotherEsau'shands:so he blessedhim.24And he said,[Art] thou my very sonEsau?And he said,I [am].25And he said,Bring [it] nearto me, and I will eatof my son'svenison,that my soulmay blessthee. And he brought [it] nearto him, and he did eat:and he broughthim wine,and he drank.26And his fatherIsaacsaidunto him, Come nearnow, and kissme, my son.

27And he came near,and kissedhim: and he smelledthe smellof his raiment,and blessedhim, and said,See,the smellof my son[is] as the smellof a fieldwhich the LORDhath blessed:

28Therefore Godgivethee of the dewof heaven,and the fatnessof the earth,and plentyof cornand wine:

29Let peopleservethee, and nationsbow downto thee: belordover thy brethren,and let thy mother'ssonsbow downto thee: cursed[be] every one that curseththee, and blessed[be] he that blesseththee.

The Stolen Blessing

30And it came to pass, as soon as Isaachad made an endof blessingJacob,and Jacobwas yetscarcegone outfrom the presenceof Isaachis father,that Esauhis brothercame infrom his hunting.31And he also had madesavoury meat,and brought itunto his father,and saidunto his father,Let my fatherarise,and eatof his son'svenison,that thy soulmay blessme.32And Isaachis fathersaidunto him, Who [art] thou? And he said,I [am] thy son,thy firstbornEsau.33And Isaactrembledveryexceedingly,and said,Who? where[is] he that hath takenvenison,and brought[it] me, and I have eatenof all before thou camest,and have blessedhim? yea, [and] he shall be blessed.34And when Esauheardthe wordsof his father,he criedwith a greatand exceedingbittercry,and saidunto his father,Blessme, [even] me also, O my father.35And he said,Thy brothercamewith subtilty,and hath taken awaythy blessing.36And he said,Is not he rightlynamedJacob?for he hath supplanted methesetwo times:he took awaymy birthright;and, behold, now he hath taken awaymy blessing.And he said,Hast thou not reserveda blessingfor me?37And Isaacansweredand saidunto Esau,Behold, I have madehim thy lord,and all his brethrenhave I givento him for servants;and with cornand winehave I sustainedhim: and what shall I donowunto thee, my son?38And Esausaidunto his father,Hast thou but oneblessing,my father?blessme, [even] me also, O my father.And Esaulifted uphis voice,and wept.

39And Isaachis fatheransweredand saidunto him, Behold, thy dwellingshall be the fatnessof the earth,and of the dewof heavenfrom above;

40And by thy swordshalt thou live,and shalt servethy brother;and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion,that thou shalt breakhis yokefrom off thy neck.

41And EsauhatedJacobbecauseof the blessingwherewithhis fatherblessed him:and Esausaidin his heart,The daysof mourningfor my fatherare at hand;then will I slaymy brotherJacob.42And these wordsof Esauher eldersonwere toldto Rebekah:and she sentand calledJacobher youngerson,and saidunto him, Behold, thy brotherEsau,as touching thee, doth comforthimself, [purposing] to killthee.43Now therefore, my son,obeymy voice;and arise,fleethou to Labanmy brotherto Haran;44And tarrywith him a fewdays,untilthy brother'sfuryturn away;45Until thy brother'sangerturn awayfrom thee, and he forget[that] which thou hast doneto him: then I will send,and fetchthee from thence: whyshould I be deprivedalso of you bothin oneday?

46And Rebekahsaidto Isaac,I am wearyof my lifebecauseof the daughtersof Heth:if Jacobtakea wifeof the daughtersof Heth,such as these [which are] of the daughtersof the land,what goodshall my lifedo me?
