וַיְהִי֙ כִּֽי
and=he/it_was that/for/because/then/when
The events in chapter 27 happened about 23 years after the end of chapter 26. Make sure your translation begins this verse in a way that fits with that fact. Alternate translation: “Now when”
זָקֵ֣ן יִצְחָ֔ק
old Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac)
Alternate translation: “Isaac was very old”
וַתִּכְהֶ֥יןָ עֵינָ֖יו מֵרְאֹ֑ת
and,dim eyes,his so_~_that_~_not,see
Isaac was either totally blind or so blind that he could not recognize people anymore (See: verses 18-27, 32-33). Alternate translation: “and his eyes were so weak that he could not see,” or “and he was almost blind,”
וַיִּקְרָ֞א
and=he/it_called
Isaac probably told a servant to go and tell Esau to come to him. Alternate translation: “he called for” or “he summoned”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו
and=he/it_said to=him/it
Consider what is the best way in your language to translate this quote margin. Alternate translation: “Esau replied,”
הִנֵּֽנִי
here,I
See how you translated this phrase in Gen 22:1,7,11. Alternate translation: “Here I am.” or “Yes, sir what is it?”
27:1-40 Jacob got his father Isaac’s blessing through deception. In this story, an entire family tries to carry out their responsibilities by physical means rather than by faith. Faith would have provided Rebekah and Jacob a more honorable solution to the crisis.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
