27:1 Yitshak’s tricked into blessing Yacob
27 When Yitshak grew old and could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.”
“I’m here,” Esau replied.
2 “Please listen,” Yitshak continued, “I’m old and don’t know how long I’ve got before I die. 3 So please take your weapons—your quiver, and your bow—and go out into the fields and hunt game for me 4 and cook me a tasty meal in the way that I love it, and bring it to me so I can eat it, so that I can bless you before I die.”
5 Now Rebekah had been listening while Yitshak spoke to Esau. Then Esau went out to the fields to hunt game and bring it back. 6 Meanwhile Rebekah said to her son Yacob, “Listen, I heard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying, 7 ‘Get some game meat for me and prepare me a tasty meal so that I can eat it, and then I can bless you in Yahweh’s presence before I die.’ 8 So now Yacob, listen to what I tell you: 9 Go out to the flock and get me two of the best young goats so that I can prepare a tasty meal from them that your father loves. 10 Then you can take it in to your father, and after he’s eaten it he’ll bless you before he dies.”
11 “Look,” Yacob said to his mother, “My brother Esau is very hairy, whereas my skin is smooth. 12 What if my father touches me? Then he’ll think of me as a deceiver and he’ll curse me rather than bless me.”
13 “Let your curse be on me, my son,” his mother replied, “Just do what I said and go get the young goats for me.” 14 So he went and slaughtered them and brought them to his mother. Then she prepared tasty food the way his father loved it. 15 She then got Esau’s best clothes that were in the house and got her younger son Yacob to put them on, 16 then she tied the skins of the young goats over his hands and around the smooth part of his neck.
17 Then she handed the tasty food and the bread to Yacob, 18 and he went in to his elderly father and said, “My father.”
“I’m here,” he said, “Which son are you?” 19 “I’m your oldest son Esau,” Yacobreplied to his father. “I’ve done what you told me. Please get up, and come and sit up and eat some of my game, so that you’ll bless me.” 20 “How did you find it so quickly, my son?” Yitshak asked.
“Because your God Yahweh helped me when I went out hunting,” Yacob answered.
21 Then Yitshak said to Yacob, “Please come close so that I can touch you, my son, and to be sure whether you’re really my son Esau or not.” 22 So Yacob went close to his father and Yitshak felt his skin and said to himself, “It’s Yacob’s voice, but these are definitely Esau’s hands.” 23 So he didn’t recognise that it was Yacob, because his hands were hairy like Easu’s hands, so he was about to bless him 24 but asked once more, “Are you really my son Esau?”
“Yes, I am,” Yacob answered.
25 So Yitshak told him, “Bring the food here and I’ll eat some of my son’s game, so that my I can then bless you.” So Yacob took it to him and he ate, and then he brought wine to him and he drank. 26 Then Yitshak asked Yacob, “My son, please come close and kiss me.” 27 So he went close and kissed him. His dad noticed the smell of his clothes, so he blessed him saying,[ref]
“Ah yes, the smell of my son
is like the pleasant smell of a field
that Yahweh has blessed.
28 May God give you dew from the sky
and riches from the land,
to produce plenty of grain and wine.
29 May peoples serve you,
and may nations bow down to you.
and may your mother’s sons bow down to you.
May those who curse you be cursed,[ref]
and may those who bless you be blessed.”
