Έγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ γηρᾶσαι Ἰσαὰκ καὶ ἠμβλύνθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ
αὐτοῦ τοῦ ὁρᾷν· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἠσαὺ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν πρεσβύτερον καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Υἱἐ μου. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἰδοὺ ἐγώ. ἐγώ.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἴδου
γεγήρακα, καὶ οὐ γινώσκω τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς τελεmῆς μου·

νῦν οὖν
λάβε τὸ σκεῦος, τήν τε φαρέτραν καὶ τὸ τόξον, καὶ ἔξελθε εἰς τὸ πεδίον καὶ θήρευσόν μοι θήραν·

καὶ ποίησόν μοι ἐδέσματα ὡς φιλῶ ἐγώ, καὶ
ἔνεγκόν μοι ἵνα φάγω· ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ σε ἡ ψυχή μου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν με.

Ῥεβέκκα δὲ ἤκουσεν λαλοῦντος Ἰσαὰκ πρὸς Ἠσαὺ τὸν υἱὸν
αὐτοῦ· ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ἠσαὺ εἰς τὸ πεδίον θηρεῦσαι θήραν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ.

'Ρεβέκκα δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς Ἰακὼβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν ἐλάσσω
Ιδε ἐγὼ ἤκουσα τοῦ πατρός σου λαλοῦντος πρὸς Ἠσαὺ τὸν ἀδελφόν σου λέγοντος

Ἔνευκόν μοι θήραν, καὶ ποίησόν μοι ἐδέσματα· ἵνα φαγὼν
¹ εὐλογήσω σε ἐναντίον Κυρίου ¶ πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν με.

νῦν οὖν, υἱέ,
ἄκουσόν μου καθὰ ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι·

καὶ πορευθεὶς εἰς τὰ πρόβατα
λάβε μοι ἐκεῖθεν δύο ἐρίφους ἁπαλοὺς καὶ καλούς, καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ²
ἐδέσματα τῷ πατρί σου ὡς φιλεῖ·

καὶ εἰσοίσεις τῷ πατρί σου, καὶ ³ Φάγεται· αἰ· ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ σε ὁ πατήρ σου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτόν.

εἶπεν δὲ Ἰακὼβ πρὸς Ῥεβέκκαν τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ Ἔστιν Ἠσαὺ ὁ
ἀδελφός μου ἀνὴρ δασύς, ἐγὼ δὲ ἀνὴρ λεῖος·

μή ποτε ψγλαφήσῃ με ὁ πατήρ μου, καὶ ἔσομαι ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὡς καταφρονῶν, καὶ ἐπάξω
ἐπ’ ἐμαυτὸν κατάραν καὶ οὐκ εὐλογίαν.

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ Ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἡ κατάρα σου, τέκνον· μόνον ὑπάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς μου,
πορευθεὶς ἔνεγκαί μοι.

πορευθεὶς δὲ ἔλαβεν καὶ ἤνεγκεν τῇ καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἐδέσματα καθὰ ἐφίλει ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

καὶ λαβοῦσα Ῥεβέκκα τὴν στολὴν Ἠσαὺ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς τοῦ πρέσβυ. τέρου τὴν καλήν, ἣ ἦν παρ’ αὐτῇ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, καὶ ἐνέδυσεν Ἰακὼβ
τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν νεώτερον·

καὶ τὰ δέρματα τῶν ἐρίφων περιέθηκεν
ἐπὶ τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ γυμνὰ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτοῦ·

καὶ ἔδωκεν τὰ ἐδέσματα καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους οὓς ἐποίησεν εἰς τὰς
Ἰακὼβ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς.

καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ· εἶπ’
πάτερ μου· ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἴδου ἐγώ· τίς εἶ σύ, τέκνον;

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἐγὼ Ἠσαὺ ὁ πρωτότοκός σου, καθὰ ἐλάλησάς μοι· ἀναστὰς κάθισον καὶ φάγε τῆς θήρας
μου, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ με ἡ ψυχή σου.

εἶπεν δὲ Ἰσαὰκ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ Τί τοῦτο ὃ ταχὺ εὗρες, ὦ τέκνον ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὅ παρέδωκεν κύριος ὁ
θεὸς ἐναντίον μου.

εἶπεν δὲ Ἰσαὰκ τῷ Ἰακώβ Ἔγγισόν μοι καὶ
ψηλαφήσω σε, τέκνον, εἰ σὺ εἰ ὁ υἱός μου Ἠσαὺ ἢ οὔ.

ἤγγισεν δὲ Ιακὼβ πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐψηλάφησεν αὐτὸν καὶ
εἶπεν Ἡ φωνὴ φωνὴ Ἰακώβ, αἱ δὲ χεῖρες χεῖρες Ἠσαύ.

καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνω αὐτόν· ἦσαν γὰρ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ὡς αἱ χεῖρες ’Hσαὺ τοῦ
ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ δασεῖαι· καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτόν.

καὶ εἶπεν Σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός
μου Ἠσαύ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἐγώ.

καὶ εἶπεν προσάγαγέ μοι καὶ φάγομαι ἀπὸ τῆς θήρας σου, τέκνον, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ σε ἡ ψυχή μου. καὶ προσήνεγκεν αὐτό, καὶ ἔφαγεν· § καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτῷ οἶνον, καὶ ἔπιεν.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἔγγισόν μοι καὶ φίλησόν με,
τέκνον.

καὶ ἐγγίσας ἐφίλησεν αὐτόν· καὶ ὠσφράνθη τὴν ὀσμὴν τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ⁴⁵

Ἴδου ὀσμὴ τοῦ υἱοῦ μου

ὡς ὀσμὴ ἀγροῦ πλήρους ὄν ηύλόγησεν κύριος,

καὶ δῲη σοι ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἄνωθεν,

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς πιότητος τῆς γῆς,

καὶ πλῆθος σίτου καὶ οἴνου.

καὶ δουλευσάτωσάν σοι ἔθνη,

καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν σοι ἄρχοντες·

καὶ γίνου κύριος τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου,

καὶ προσκυνήσουσίν σε οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ πατρός σου.

ὁ καταρώμενός σε ἐπικατάρατος,

ὁ δὲ εὐλογῶν σε εὐλουημένος.

Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ παύσασθαι Ἰσαὰκ εὐλογοῦντα τὸν Ἰακὼβ τὸν
υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξῆλθεν Ἰακὼβ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ἠσαὺ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἦλθεν ἀπὸ τῆς θήρας αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἐποίησεν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐδέσματα καὶ προσήνεγκεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ·
καὶ εἶπεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἀωαστήτω ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ φαγέτω τῆς θήρας τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅπως εὐλογήσει με ἡ ψυχή σου.

καὶ εἶπεν
αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ τίς εἰ σύ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ υἱός σου ὁ πρωτότοκος Ἠσαύ.

ἐξέστη δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἔκστασιν μεγάλην σφόδρα
καὶ εἶπεν τίς οὖν ὁ θηρεύσας μοι θήραν καὶ εἰσενέγκας μοι, καὶ ἔφαγον ἀπὸ πάντων πρὸ τοῦ σε εἰσελθεῖν, καὶ ηὐλόγησα αὐτόν ; καὶ εὐλογημένος ἔστω.

ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤκουσεν Ἠσαὺ τὰ ῥήματα
Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἀνεβόησεν Ἠσαὺ φωνὴν μεγάλην καὶ πικρὰν σφόδρα, καὶ εἶπεν Εὐλόγησον δὴ κἀμέ, πάτερ.

εἶπεν δὲ
αὐτῷ Ἐλθὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου μετὰ δόλου ἔλαβεν τὴν εὐλογίαν σου.

καὶ εἶπεν Δικαίως ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰακώβ· ἐπτέρνικεν γάρ
με ἤδη δεύτερον τοῦτο· τά τε πρωτοτοκεῖά μου εἴληφεν, καὶ νῦν ν εὐλογίαν μου. καὶ εἶπεν Ἠσαὺ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐχ μοι εὐλογίαν, πάτερ;

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰσαὰκ εἶπεν τῶ
Ἠσαύ Εἰ κύριον αὐτὸν ἐποίησά σου, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὖ τοῦ ἐποίησα αὐτοῦ οἰκέτας, σίτῳ καὶ οἴνῳ ἐστήρισα αὐτόν· σοὶ δὲ τί ⁶
ποιήσω, τέκνον;

εἶπεν δὲ Ἠσαὺ πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ ⁷
Μὴ εὐλογία μία σοί ἐστιν, πάτερ; εὐλάγησον δὴ κἀμέ, πάτερ.

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ

ἰδοὺ ἀπὸ τῆς πιότητος τῆς γῆς ὦσται ἡ κατοίκησίς σου,

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἄνωθεν·

καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ μαχαίρῃ σου ζήσῃ,

καὶ τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου δουλεύσεις.

ἱστᾶι δὲ ἡνίκα ἐὰν καθέλῃς

καὶ ἐκλύσειςτὸν ζυγὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου σου.

Καὶ ἐνεκότει Ἠσαὺ τῷ Ἰακὼβ περὶ τῆς εὐλογίας ἧς εὐλάγησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ· εἶπεν δὲ Ἠσαὺ ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ αὐτοῦ Ἐγγισάτωσαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ πένθους τοῦ πατρός μου, ἵνα ἀποκτείνω Ἰακὼβ τὸν ἅδω
φόν μου.

ἀπηγγέλη δὲ Ῥεβέκκᾳ τὰ ῥήματα Ἠσαὺ τοῦ τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου· καὶ πέμψασα ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν νεώτερον καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἰδοὺ Ἠσαὺ ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἀπειλεῖ σοι τοῦ
ἀποκτεῖναί σε.

νῦν οὖν, τέκνον, ἄκουσόν μου τῆς φωνῆς, καὶ ἀναστὰς ἀπόδραθι εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν πρὸς Λαβὰν τὸν ἀδελφόν
μου εἰς Χαρράν·

καὶ οἴκησον μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἡμέρας τινάς,

ἕως τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν καὶ τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἃ πεποίηκας αὐτῷ· καὶ ἀποστείλασα μεταπέμψομαί σε ἐκεῖθεν, μή ποτε ἀτεκνωθῶ ἀπὸ τῶν δύο ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ.

Εἶπεν δὲ Ῥεβέκκα πρὸς Ἰσαάκ Προσώχθικα τῆ ζωῇ τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ· εἰ λήμψεται Ἰακὼβ γυναῖκα ἀπὸ τῶν XXVIII

Genesis Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 27 focus

It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son? He said to him, Here I am.

He said, See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.

Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison.

Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.

Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.

Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,

Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.

Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.

Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good kids of the goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.

You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.

Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.

His mother said to him, Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.

He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.

She put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.

She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

He came to his father, and said, My father? He said, Here I am. Who are you, my son?

Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.

Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? He said, Because Yahweh your God gave me success.

Isaac said to Jacob, Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.

Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.

He said, Are you really my son Esau? He said, I am.

He said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you. He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.

His father Isaac said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.

He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son Is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed.

God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.

Let peoples serve you, Nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, Blessed be everyone who blesses you.

It happened, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.

Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? He said, I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.

Isaac trembled violently, and said, Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.

When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, my father.

He said, Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.

He said, Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing. He said, Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?

Isaac answered Esau, Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?

Esau said to his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father. Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

Isaac his father answered him, Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.

By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, That you shall shake his yoke from off your neck.

Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.

The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.

Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran .

Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away;

until your brother’s anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?

Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?
