1 以撒年老， 眼睛昏花， 看不见东西了； 他把他的大儿子以扫叫了来， 对他说： "我儿啊！ "以扫回答他： "我在这里。" 2 以撒说： "现在我已经老了， 不知道什么时候会死。 3 你现在拿你打猎的用具， 就是你的箭囊和弓， 出到田野去为我打猎。 4 照我所喜欢的， 给我预备美味的食物， 拿来给我吃； 好让我在未死以前给你祝福。" 5 以撒对他儿子以扫说话的时候， 利百加也听见。以扫到田野去打猎， 要带些野味回来。 6 利百加就对她儿子雅各说： "我听见你父亲对你的哥哥以扫这样说： 7 ‘你去为我打些猎物回来， 给我预备美味的食物， 让我吃了， 在我未死以前可以在耶和华面前给你祝福。’ 8 我儿啊， 现在你要听我的话， 照着我吩咐你的去作。 9 你快到羊群那里去， 给我牵两只肥嫩的小山羊来， 我要照你父亲所喜欢的， 给他预备美味的食物。 10 然后你要拿去给你父亲吃， 好让他在未死以前给你祝福。" 11 雅各对他的母亲利百加说： "但是哥哥以扫浑身是毛， 而我却是个皮肤光滑的人。 12 万一我父亲摸着我， 必以为我是骗子， 那时我就必自招咒诅， 而不是祝福了。" 13 他母亲对他说： "我儿啊， 愿你所招的咒诅归到我身上吧， 你只管听我的话， 去把羊牵来给我。" 14 他就去把羊羔牵来， 交给他母亲， 他母亲就照他父亲所喜欢的， 预备美味的食物。 15 利百加又把大儿子以扫留在家里最好的衣服拿来， 给她小儿子雅各穿上。 16 又用小山羊的皮， 包在雅各的手上和他颈上光滑的地方。 17 然后， 她把自己所预备美味的食物和饼， 放在她儿子雅各的手里。 18 雅各来到他父亲那里， 说： "我父啊！ "以撒说： "我在这里， 我儿啊， 你是谁？" 19 雅各对他父亲说： "我就是你的长子以扫， 你吩咐我作的， 我已经照样作了。请坐起来， 吃我的猎物， 好给我祝福。" 20 以撒问他的儿子： "我儿啊， 你怎么这样快就猎到了呢？"雅各回答： "因为耶和华你的 神叫我碰着好机会。" 21 以撒对雅各说： "我儿啊， 你上前来， 让我摸摸你， 看看你是不是我的儿子以扫。" 22 雅各就走近他父亲以撒身边， 以撒摸着他， 说： "声音是雅各的声音， 手却是以扫的手。" 23 以撒认不出他来， 因为他的手上有毛， 好像他哥哥以扫的手一样， 于是给他祝福。 24 以撒问： "你真是我的儿子以扫吗？"他回答： "我是。" 25 以撒说： "把食物递给我， 好让我吃我儿子的猎物， 我就给你祝福。"雅各把食物递给他， 他就吃了； 又拿酒给他， 他也喝了。 26 他父亲以撒对他说： "我儿啊， 你上前来， 和我亲嘴。" 27 他就上前和父亲亲嘴； 他父亲一闻到他衣服的香气， 就给他祝福， 说： "看哪， 我儿子的香气， 好像蒙耶和华赐福的田地所发出的香气一样。 28 愿 神赐给你天上的甘露， 地上的沃土， 以及大量五谷和美酒。 29 愿万民服事你， 愿万族向你下拜， 愿你作你兄弟的主人， 愿你母亲的子孙向你下拜。咒诅你的， 愿他受咒诅； 给你祝福的， 愿他蒙福。" 30 以撒给雅各祝福完了， 雅各刚刚从他父亲以撒那里出来的时候， 他哥哥以扫就打猎回来了。 31 他也预备了美味的食物， 拿来给他父亲， 对他说： "请我父起来， 吃你儿子的猎物， 好给我祝福。" 32 他父亲以撒问他： "你是谁？"他回答： "我就是你的长子以扫。" 33 以撒就大大地战兢起来， 说： "那么， 刚才去打猎又拿猎物给我的是谁呢？在你未来以先， 我已经吃了， 又给他祝福了； 他将来必定蒙福。" 34 以扫听了他父亲的话， 就非常痛心， 放声大哭， 对他父亲说： "我父啊， 求你也给我祝福。" 35 以撒说： "你弟弟已经前来， 用诡计把你的祝福夺去了。" 36 以扫说： "他名叫雅各不是很对吗？因为他欺骗了我两次。从前他夺去我的长子名分， 现在他又夺去我的祝福。"以扫又说： "你再没有祝福留给我吗？" 37 以撒回答以扫， 说： "我已经立他作你的主人， 又把他所有的兄弟给了他作仆人， 并且把五谷和美酒供给他了。我儿啊， 我还可以为你作什么呢？" 38 以扫问他的父亲： "我父啊， 你只有一个祝福吗？我父啊， 求你也给我祝福。"以扫就放声大哭。 39 他父亲以撒回答他， 说： "你住的地方必远离地上的沃土， 远离天上的甘露。 40 你必依靠刀剑生活， 你必服事你的弟弟； 到你自由的时候， 你必从你的颈项上挣脱他的轭。" 41 以扫因为他父亲给雅各所祝的福， 就怀恨雅各； 以扫心里想： "为我父亲守丧的时候近了， 到时我必杀我的弟弟雅各。" 42 有人把利百加大儿子以扫所说的话告诉了利百加， 她就派人把她小儿子雅各叫了来， 对他说： "你哥哥以扫想要杀你， 报仇雪恨。 43 我儿啊， 现在你要听我的话； 起来， 逃到哈兰我哥哥拉班那里去吧。 44 与他住些时日， 等到你哥哥的怒气消了。 45 你哥哥对你消了怒气， 忘记了你对他所作的事， 我就派人去把你从那里接回来。我何必在一日之内丧失你们两个呢？" 46 利百加对以撒说： "我因为这些赫人女子， 连性命都厌恶了。如果雅各也从这地的女子中， 娶了像这样的赫人女子为妻， 那我活着还有什么意思呢？"

1 And it cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, `My son;` and he saith unto him, `Here [am] I.`2 And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;3 and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,4 and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee before I die.`5 And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision -- to bring in;6 and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, `Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,7 Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.8 `And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:9 Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;10 and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee before his death.11 And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, `Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I a smooth man,12 it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, and not a blessing;`13 and his mother saith to him, `On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.`14 And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath loved;15 and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;16 and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,17 and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.18 And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, `My father;` and he saith, `Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?`19 And Jacob saith unto his father, `I [am] Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.`20 And Isaac saith unto his son, `What [is] this thou hast hasted to find, my son?` and he saith, `That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come before me.`21 And Isaac saith unto Jacob, `Come nigh, I pray thee, and I feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, my son Esau, or not.`22 And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, `The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.`23 And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,24 and saith, `Thou art he -- my son Esau?` and he saith, `I [am].`25 And he saith, `Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son`s provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;` and he bringeth nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he drinketh.26 And Isaac his father saith to him, `Come nigh, I pray thee, and kiss me, my son;`27 and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, `See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah hath blessed;28 and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine;29 peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.`30 And it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come in from his hunting;31 and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, `Let my father arise, and eat of his son`s provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.`32 And Isaac his father saith to him, `Who [art] thou?` and he saith, `I [am] thy son, thy first-born, Esau;`33 and Isaac trembleth a very great trembling, and saith, `Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him? -- yea, blessed is he.`34 When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, `Bless me, me also, O my father;`35 and he saith, `Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh thy blessing.`36 And he saith, `Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;` he saith also, `Hast thou not kept back a blessing for me?`37 And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, `Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, my son?`38 And Esau saith unto his father, `One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;` and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.39 And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, `Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from above;40 and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy neck.`41 And Esau hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, `The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my brother.`42 And the words of Esau her elder son are declared to Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son, and saith unto him, `Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself in regard to thee -- to slay thee;43 and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,44 and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother`s fury turn back,45 till thy brother`s anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same day?`46 And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, `I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these -- from the daughters of the land -- why do I live?`
