OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_said to_him/it his/its_mother on_me curse_your son_my only listen in/on/at/with_voice_my and_go fetch_[them] to_me.
OET (OET-RV) “Let your curse be on me, my son,” his mother replied, “Just do what I said and go get the young goats for me.”
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַתֹּ֤אמֶר לוֹ֙ אִמּ֔וֹ
and=she/it_said to=him/it his/its=mother
Alternate translation: “But his mother responded,”
עָלַ֥י קִלְלָתְךָ֖ בְּנִ֑י
on,me curse,your son,my
Make sure that your translation of your curse refers to the curse Jacob fears his father might say against him and does not sound like Jacob cursed someone. Also, for some languages it is more natural to put an address like my son first in this quote. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “My son, if your father curses you, may that curse fall on me and not on you.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אַ֛ךְ שְׁמַ֥ע בְּקֹלִ֖י
only obey in/on/at/with,voice,my
Alternate translation: “Please just do what I say,”
וְלֵ֥ךְ קַֽח לִֽי
and,go get to=me
Alternate translation: “and go and bring two goats to me.”
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.
