Chapter 27

1When Yitzchak was old and his eyes were too dim to see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” He answered, “Here I am.”

2And he said, “I am old now, and I do not know how soon I may die.

4Then prepare a dish for me such as I like, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my innermost blessing before I die.”

5Rivka had been listening as Yitzchak spoke to his son Esau. When Esau had gone out into the open to hunt game to bring home,

6Rivka said to her son Yaakov, “I overheard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying,

11Yaakov answered his mother Rivka, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man and I am smooth-skinned.

13But his mother said to him, “Your curse, my son, be upon me! Just do as I say and go fetch them for me.”

14He got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared a dish such as his father liked.

15Rivka then took the best clothes of her older son Esau, which were there in the house, and had her younger son Yaakov put them on;

16and she covered his hands and the hairless part of his neck with the skins of the kids.

17Then she put in the hands of her son Yaakov the dish and the bread that she had prepared.

18He went to his father and said, “Father.” And he said, “Yes, which of my sons are you?”

19Yaakov said to his father, “I am Esau, your first-born; I have done as you told me. Pray sit up and eat of my game, that you may give me your innermost blessing.”

20Yitzchak said to his son, “How did you succeed so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because Hashem your God granted me good fortune.”

vai-YO-mer yitz-KHAK el b'-NO: ma ZEH mi-HAR-ta lim-TZO b'-NEE? vai-YO-mer KEE hik-RA a-do-NAI e-lo-HE-kha l'-fa-NAI

21Yitzchak said to Yaakov, “Come closer that I may feel you, my son—whether you are really my son Esau or not.”

22So Yaakov drew close to his father Yitzchak, who felt him and wondered. “The voice is the voice of Yaakov, yet the hands are the hands of Esau.”

23He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; and so he blessed him.

24He asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And when he said, “I am,”

25he said, “Serve me and let me eat of my son's game that I may give you my innermost blessing.” So he served him and he ate, and he brought him wine and he drank.

26Then his father Yitzchak said to him, “Come close and kiss me, my son”;

27and he went up and kissed him. And he smelled his clothes and he blessed him, saying, “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of the fields that Hashem has blessed.

30No sooner had Yaakov left the presence of his father Yitzchak—after Yitzchak had finished blessing Yaakov—than his brother Esau came back from his hunt.

31He too prepared a dish and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, “Let my father sit up and eat of his son's game, so that you may give me your innermost blessing.”

33Yitzchak was seized with very violent trembling. “Who was it then,” he demanded, “that hunted game and brought it to me? Moreover, I ate of it before you came, and I blessed him; now he must remain blessed!”

34When Esau heard his father's words, he burst into wild and bitter sobbing, and said to his father, “Bless me too, Father!”

36[Esau] said, “Was he, then, named Yaakov that he might supplant me these two times? First he took away my birthright and now he has taken away my blessing!” And he added, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”

37Yitzchak answered, saying to Esau, “But I have made him master over you: I have given him all his brothers for servants, and sustained him with grain and wine. What, then, can I still do for you, my son?”

41Now Esau harbored a grudge against Yaakov because of the blessing which his father had given him, and Esau said to himself, “Let but the mourning period of my father come, and I will kill my brother Yaakov.”
