uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יְהִי֙ כִּֽי

and=he/it_was (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was that/for/because/then/when old Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) and,they_had_grown_dim eyes_of,his from,seeing and=he/it_called DOM ˊĒsāv his/its=son the=big/great(sg) and=he/it_said to=him/it my_son_of,my and=he/it_said to=him/it here,I_[am] )

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

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was that/for/because/then/when old Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) and,they_had_grown_dim eyes_of,his from,seeing and=he/it_called DOM ˊĒsāv his/its=son the=big/great(sg) and=he/it_said to=him/it my_son_of,my and=he/it_said to=him/it here,I_[am] )

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

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

Consider what is the best way in your language to translate this quote margin. Alternate translation: [Esau replied]

Note 3 topic: writing-politeness

הִנֵּֽנִ⁠י

See how you translated the phrase Behold me in Genesis 22:1, 7, 11. Alternate translation: [Here I am] or [Yes, sir what is it?]
