1 And when Izhak was olde, and his eyes were dimme (so that he coulde not see) he called Esau his eldest sonne, and sayde vnto him, My sonne. And he answered him, I am here. 2 Then he sayd, Beholde, I am nowe olde, and knowe not the day of my death: 3 Wherefore nowe, I pray thee take thine instruments, thy quiuer and thy bowe, and get thee to the fielde, that thou mayest take mee some venison. 4 Then make mee sauourie meate, such as I loue, and bring it me that I may eat, and that my soule may blesse thee, before I die. 5 (Nowe Rebekah heard, when Izhak spake to Esau his sonne) and Esau went into the fielde to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 6 Then Rebekah spake vnto Iaakob her sonne, saying, Beholde, I haue heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, saying, 7 Bring mee vension, and make mee sauourie meate, that I may eate and blesse thee before the Lord, afore my death. 8 Nowe therefore, my sonne, heare my voyce in that which I command thee. 9 Get thee nowe to the flocke, and bring me thence two good kids of the goates, that I may make pleasant meate of them for thy father, such as he loueth. 10 Then shalt thou bring it to thy father, and he shall eate, to the intent that he may blesse thee before his death. 11 But Iaakob sayde to Rebekah his mother, Beholde, Esau my brother is rough, and I am smoothe. 12 My father may possibly feele me, and I shall seem to him to be a mocker: so shall I bring a curse vpon me, and not a blessing. 13 But his mother sayd vnto him, vpon me be thy curse, my sonne: onely heare my voyce, and go and bring me them. 14 So he went and set them, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made pleasant meat, such as his father loued. 15 And Rebekah tooke faire clothes of her elder sonne Esau, which were in her house, and clothed Iaakob her yonger sonne: 16 And she couered his hands and the smoothe of his necke with the skinnes of the kiddes of the goates. 17 Afterward she put the pleasant meate and bread, which she had prepared, in the hand of her sonne Iaakob. 18 And when he came to his father, he sayd, My father. Who answered, I am here: who art thou, my sonne? 19 And Iaakob sayde to his father, I am Esau thy first borne, I haue done as thou badest me, arise, I pray thee: sit vp and eate of my venison, that thy soule may blesse me. 20 Then Izhak said vnto his sonne, Howe hast thou founde it so quickly my sonne? Who sayde, Because the Lord thy God brought it to mine hande. 21 Againe sayde Izhak vnto Iaakob, Come neere nowe, that I may feele thee, my sonne, whether thou be that my sonne Esau or not. 22 Then Iaakob came neere to Izhak his father, and he felt him and sayd, The voyce is Iaakobs voyce, but the hands are the hands of Esau. 23 (For he knewe him not, because his hands were rough as his brother Esaus hands: wherefore he blessed him) 24 Againe he sayd, Art thou that my sonne Esau? Who answered, Yea. 25 Then said he, Bring it me hither, and I will eate of my sonnes venison, that my soule may blesse thee. And he brought it to him, and he ate: also he brought him wine, and he dranke. 26 Afterward his father Izhak sayd vnto him, Come neere nowe, and kisse me, my sonne. 27 And hee came neere and kissed him. Then he smellled the sauour of his garmentes, and blessed him, and sayde, Behold, the smelll of my sonne is as the smelll of a fielde, which the Lord hath blessed.
