27.1 Senuit autem Isaac, etc. HIPP. mart., ex Hieron., epist. ad Damasum, tom. 1 Mystice. Isaac portat imaginem Dei Patris, Rebecca Spiritus sancti, Esau populi prioris et zabuli, Jacob Ecclesiæ et Christi. Senectus Isaac, consummationem mundi; oculi caligantes periisse fidem de mundo, et religionis lumen neglectum esse, significant. Quia filius major vocatur, acceptio est legis Judæorum. Quia escas ejus et capturam dilexit pater: homines sunt ab errore salvati, quos per doctrinam justus quisque venatur. Sermo Dei, repromissionis benedictio, et spes regni futuri, in quo cum Christo sunt regnaturi, et verum sabbatum celebraturi. Rebecca plena Spiritu sancto, sciens quod audisset antequam pareret, quia major serviet minori: hæc formam gerit Spiritus sancti, quæ quod futurum esse noverat in Christo, ante meditabatur in Jacob, loquitur ad filium minorem. Vade ad gregem et affer mihi duos hædos optimos; præfigurans carneum Salvatoris adventum, in quo eos liberaret qui peccatis tenebantur obnoxii. Hædi enim ubique peccatores significant. Duo afferri jubentur, ut duorum populorum assumptio significetur. Teneri scilicet et humani, docibiles scilicet et innocentis animæ. Stola Esau est fides, id est Scripturæ Hebræorum quæ illis primo datæ sunt quibus populus gentilium postea indutus; pelles circumdatæ brachiis ejus, peccata utriusque populi, quæ Christus in extensione manuum cruci secum affixit: ipse enim in corpore suo, non sua, sed aliena peccata portabat.
27.1 Senuit however Isaac, etc. HIPP. mart., ex Hieron., epist. to Damasum, tom. 1 Mystice.

BRN And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I am here.
BrLXX Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ γηράσαι τὸν Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ ἠμβλύνθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ τοῦ ὁρᾷν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἡσαῦ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν πρεσβύτερον, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, υἱέ μου· καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ.
(Egeneto de meta to gaʸrasai ton Isaʼak, kai aʸmblunthaʸsan hoi ofthalmoi autou tou horan, kai ekalesen Haʸsau ton huion autou ton presbuteron, kai eipen autōi, huie mou; kai eipen, idou egō. )
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.

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”
