Chapter 27

Jacob Steals Esau's Blessing

1 When Isaac was old and almost blind, he called for Esau, his older son, and said, "My son?"
     "Yes, Father?" Esau replied.
        2 "I am an old man now," Isaac said, "and I expect every day to be my last.
3 Take your bow and a quiver full of arrows out into the open country, and hunt some wild game for me.
4 Prepare it just the way I like it so it's savory and good, and bring it here for me to eat. Then I will pronounce the blessing that belongs to you, my firstborn son, before I die."
