| 26 1 | Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. | ISAAC: Gerar. Gn.26.1-25 | וַיְהִי רָעָב בָּאָרֶץ מִלְּבַד הָרָעָב הָרִאשֹׁון אֲשֶׁר הָיָה בִּימֵי אַבְרָהָם וַיֵּלֶךְ יִצְחָק אֶל־אֲבִימֶּלֶךְ מֶלֶךְ־פְּלִשְׁתִּים גְּרָרָה׃ |
| 2 | And Yahweh appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you. | וַיֵּרָא אֵלָיו יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־תֵּרֵד מִצְרָיְמָה שְׁכֹן בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אֹמַר אֵלֶיךָ׃ | |
| 3 | Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will fulfil the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. | גּוּר בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת וְאֶהְיֶה עִמְּךָ וַאֲבָרְךֶךָּ כִּי־לְךָ וּלְזַרְעֲךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־כָּל־הָאֲרָצֹת הָאֵל וַהֲקִמֹתִי אֶת־הַשְּׁבֻעָה אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לְאַבְרָהָם אָבִיךָ׃ | |
| 4 | I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves: | וְהִרְבֵּיתִי אֶת־זַרְעֲךָ כְּכֹוכְבֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם וְנָתַתִּי לְזַרְעֲךָ אֵת כָּל־הָאֲרָצֹת הָאֵל וְהִתְבָּרֲכוּ בְזַרְעֲךָ כֹּל גֹּויֵי הָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 5 | because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws." | עֵקֶב אֲשֶׁר־שָׁמַע אַבְרָהָם בְּקֹלִי וַיִּשְׁמֹר מִשְׁמַרְתִּי מִצְוֹתַי חֻקֹּותַי וְתֹורֹתָי׃ | |
| 6 | So Isaac dwelt in Gerar. | וַיֵּשֶׁב יִצְחָק בִּגְרָר׃ | |
| 7 | When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister"; for he feared to say, "My wife," thinking, "lest the men of the place should kill me for the sake of Rebekah"; because she was fair to look upon. | וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַמָּקֹום לְאִשְׁתֹּו וַיֹּאמֶר אֲחֹתִי הִוא כִּי יָרֵא לֵאמֹר אִשְׁתִּי פֶּן־יַהַרְגֻנִי אַנְשֵׁי הַמָּקֹום עַל־רִבְקָה כִּי־טֹובַת מַרְאֶה הִיא׃ | |
| 8 | When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac fondling Rebekah his wife. | וַיְהִי כִּי אָרְכוּ־לֹו שָׁם הַיָּמִים וַיַּשְׁקֵף אֲבִימֶלֶךְ מֶלֶךְ פְּלִשְׁתִּים בְּעַד הַחַלֹּון וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה יִצְחָק מְצַחֵק אֵת רִבְקָה אִשְׁתֹּו׃ | |
| 9 | So Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, she is your wife; how then could you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.' " | וַיִּקְרָא אֲבִימֶלֶךְ לְיִצְחָק וַיֹּאמֶר אַךְ הִנֵּה אִשְׁתְּךָ הִוא וְאֵיךְ אָמַרְתָּ אֲחֹתִי הִוא וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יִצְחָק כִּי אָמַרְתִּי פֶּן־אָמוּת עָלֶיהָ׃ | |
| 10 | Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us." | וַיֹּאמֶר אֲבִימֶלֶךְ מַה־זֹּאת עָשִׂיתָ לָּנוּ כִּמְעַט שָׁכַב אַחַד הָעָם אֶת־אִשְׁתֶּךָ וְהֵבֵאתָ עָלֵינוּ אָשָׁם׃ | |
| 11 | So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, "Whoever touches this man or his wife shall be put to death." | וַיְצַו אֲבִימֶלֶךְ אֶת־כָּל־הָעָם לֵאמֹר הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּאִישׁ הַזֶּה וּבְאִשְׁתֹּו מֹות יוּמָת׃ | |
| 12 | And Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. Yahweh blessed him, | וַיִּזְרַע יִצְחָק בָּאָרֶץ הַהִוא וַיִּמְצָא בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִוא מֵאָה שְׁעָרִים וַיְבָרֲכֵהוּ יְהוָה׃ | |
| 13 | and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy. | וַיִּגְדַּל הָאִישׁ וַיֵּלֶךְ הָלֹוךְ וְגָדֵל עַד כִּי־גָדַל מְאֹד׃ | |
| 14 | He had possessions of flocks and herds, and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him. | וַיְהִי־לֹו מִקְנֵה־צֹאן וּמִקְנֵה בָקָר וַעֲבֻדָּה רַבָּה וַיְקַנְאוּ אֹתֹו פְּלִשְׁתִּים׃ | |
| 15 | (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.) | וְכָל־הַבְּאֵרֹת אֲשֶׁר חָפְרוּ עַבְדֵי אָבִיו בִּימֵי אַבְרָהָם אָבִיו סִתְּמוּם פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיְמַלְאוּם עָפָר׃ | |
| 16 | And Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us; for you are much mightier than we." | וַיֹּאמֶר אֲבִימֶלֶךְ אֶל־יִצְחָק לֵךְ מֵעִמָּנוּ כִּי־עָצַמְתָּ־מִמֶּנּוּ מְאֹד׃ | |
| 17 | So Isaac departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there. | וַיֵּלֶךְ מִשָּׁם יִצְחָק וַיִּחַן בְּנַחַל־גְּרָר וַיֵּשֶׁב שָׁם׃ | |
| 18 | And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the names which his father had given them. | וַיָּשָׁב יִצְחָק וַיַּחְפֹּר אֶת־בְּאֵרֹת הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר חָפְרוּ בִּימֵי אַבְרָהָם אָבִיו וַיְסַתְּמוּם פְּלִשְׁתִּים אַחֲרֵי מֹות אַבְרָהָם וַיִּקְרָא לָהֶן שֵׁמֹות כַּשֵּׁמֹת אֲשֶׁר־קָרָא לָהֶן אָבִיו׃ | |
| 19 | But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of springing water, | וַיַּחְפְּרוּ עַבְדֵי־יִצְחָק בַּנָּחַל וַיִּמְצְאוּ־שָׁם בְּאֵר מַיִם חַיִּים׃ | |
| 20 | the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him. | וַיָּרִיבוּ רֹעֵי גְרָר עִם־רֹעֵי יִצְחָק לֵאמֹר לָנוּ הַמָּיִם וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם־הַבְּאֵר עֵשֶׂק כִּי הִתְעַשְּׂקוּ עִמֹּו׃ | |
| 21 | Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also; so he called its name Sitnah. | וַיַּחְפְּרוּ בְּאֵר אַחֶרֶת וַיָּרִיבוּ גַּם־עָלֶיהָ וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמָהּ שִׂטְנָה׃ | |
| 22 | And he moved from there and dug another well, and over that they did not quarrel; so he called its name Rehoboth, saying, "For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land." | וַיַּעְתֵּק מִשָּׁם וַיַּחְפֹּר בְּאֵר אַחֶרֶת וְלֹא רָבוּ עָלֶיהָ וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמָהּ רְחֹבֹות וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי־עַתָּה הִרְחִיב יְהוָה לָנוּ וּפָרִינוּ בָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 23 | From there he went up to Beer-sheba. | וַיַּעַל מִשָּׁם בְּאֵר שָׁבַע׃ | |
| 24 | And Yahweh appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father; fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake." | וַיֵּרָא אֵלָיו יְהוָה בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא וַיֹּאמֶר אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם אָבִיךָ אַל־תִּירָא כִּי־אִתְּךָ אָנֹכִי וּבֵרַכְתִּיךָ וְהִרְבֵּיתִי אֶת־זַרְעֲךָ בַּעֲבוּר אַבְרָהָם עַבְדִּי׃ | |
| 25 | So he built an altar there and called upon the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well. | וַיִּבֶן שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ וַיִּקְרָא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה וַיֶּט־שָׁם אָהֳלֹו וַיִּכְרוּ־שָׁם עַבְדֵי־יִצְחָק בְּאֵר׃ | |
| 26 | Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army. | ISAAC's agreement with Abimelech. Gn.26.26-33 | וַאֲבִימֶלֶךְ הָלַךְ אֵלָיו מִגְּרָר וַאֲחֻזַּת מֵרֵעֵהוּ וּפִיכֹל שַׂר־צְבָאֹו׃ |
| 27 | Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?" | וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם יִצְחָק מַדּוּעַ בָּאתֶם אֵלָי וְאַתֶּם שְׂנֵאתֶם אֹתִי וַתְּשַׁלְּחוּנִי מֵאִתְּכֶם׃ | |
| 28 | They said, "We see plainly that Yahweh is with you; so we say, let there be an oath between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you, | וַיֹּאמְרוּ רָאֹו רָאִינוּ כִּי־הָיָה יְהוָה עִמָּךְ וַנֹּאמֶר תְּהִי נָא אָלָה בֵּינֹותֵינוּ בֵּינֵינוּ וּבֵינֶךָ וְנִכְרְתָה בְרִית עִמָּךְ׃ | |
| 29 | that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of Yahweh." | אִם־תַּעֲשֵׂה עִמָּנוּ רָעָה כַּאֲשֶׁר לֹא נְגַעֲנוּךָ וְכַאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂינוּ עִמְּךָ רַק־טֹוב וַנְּשַׁלֵּחֲךָ בְּשָׁלֹום אַתָּה עַתָּה בְּרוּךְ יְהוָה׃ | |
| 30 | So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. | וַיַּעַשׂ לָהֶם מִשְׁתֶּה וַיֹּאכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתּוּ׃ | |
| 31 | In the morning they rose early and took oath with one another; and Isaac set them on their way, and they departed from him in peace. | וַיַּשְׁכִּימוּ בַבֹּקֶר וַיִּשָּׁבְעוּ אִישׁ לְאָחִיו וַיְשַׁלְּחֵם יִצְחָק וַיֵּלְכוּ מֵאִתֹּו בְּשָׁלֹום׃ | |
| 32 | That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water." | וַיְהִי בַּיֹּום הַהוּא וַיָּבֹאוּ עַבְדֵי יִצְחָק וַיַּגִּדוּ לֹו עַל־אֹדֹות הַבְּאֵר אֲשֶׁר חָפָרוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹו מָצָאנוּ מָיִם׃ | |
| 33 | He called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day. | וַיִּקְרָא אֹתָהּ שִׁבְעָה עַל־כֵּן שֵׁם־הָעִיר בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה׃ ס | |
| 34 | When Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite; | Esau's foreign wives. Gn.26.34-35 | וַיְהִי עֵשָׂו בֶּן־אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וַיִּקַּח אִשָּׁה אֶת־יְהוּדִית בַּת־בְּאֵרִי הַחִתִּי וְאֶת־בָּשְׂמַת בַּת־אֵילֹן הַחִתִּי׃ |
| 35 | and they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah. | וַתִּהְיֶיןָ מֹרַת רוּחַ לְיִצְחָק וּלְרִבְקָה׃ ס | |
| 27 1 | When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son, and said to him, "My son"; and he answered, "Here I am." | ISAAC blesses Jacob. Gn.27.1-29 | וַיְהִי כִּי־זָקֵן יִצְחָק וַתִּכְהֶיןָ עֵינָיו מֵרְאֹת וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־עֵשָׂו בְּנֹו הַגָּדֹל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו בְּנִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּנִי׃ |
| 2 | He said, "Behold, I am old; I do not know the day of my death. | וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה־נָא זָקַנְתִּי לֹא יָדַעְתִּי יֹום מֹותִי׃ | |
| 3 | Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me, | וְעַתָּה שָׂא־נָא כֵלֶיךָ תֶּלְיְךָ וְקַשְׁתֶּךָ וְצֵא הַשָּׂדֶה וְצוּדָה לִּי כ= צֵידָה ק= צָיִד׃ | |
| 4 | and prepare for me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat; that I may bless you before I die." | וַעֲשֵׂה־לִי מַטְעַמִּים כַּאֲשֶׁר אָהַבְתִּי וְהָבִיאָה לִּי וְאֹכֵלָה בַּעֲבוּר תְּבָרֶךְךָ נַפְשִׁי בְּטֶרֶם אָמוּת׃ | |
| 5 | Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it, | וְרִבְקָה שֹׁמַעַת בְּדַבֵּר יִצְחָק אֶל־עֵשָׂו בְּנֹו וַיֵּלֶךְ עֵשָׂו הַשָּׂדֶה לָצוּד צַיִד לְהָבִיא׃ | |
| 6 | Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, | וְרִבְקָה אָמְרָה אֶל־יַעֲקֹב בְּנָהּ לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה שָׁמַעְתִּי אֶת־אָבִיךָ מְדַבֵּר אֶל־עֵשָׂו אָחִיךָ לֵאמֹר׃ | |
| 7 | 'Bring me game, and prepare for me savory food, that I may eat it, and bless you before Yahweh before I die.' | הָבִיאָה לִּי צַיִד וַעֲשֵׂה־לִי מַטְעַמִּים וְאֹכֵלָה וַאֲבָרֶכְכָה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לִפְנֵי מֹותִי׃ | |
| 8 | Now therefore, my son, obey my word as I command you. | וְעַתָּה בְנִי שְׁמַע בְּקֹלִי לַאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי מְצַוָּה אֹתָךְ׃ | |
| 9 | Go to the flock, and fetch me two good kids, that I may prepare from them savory food for your father, such as he loves; | לֶךְ־נָא אֶל־הַצֹּאן וְקַח־לִי מִשָּׁם שְׁנֵי גְּדָיֵי עִזִּים טֹבִים וְאֶעֱשֶׂה אֹתָם מַטְעַמִּים לְאָבִיךָ כַּאֲשֶׁר אָהֵב׃ | |
| 10 | and you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies." | וְהֵבֵאתָ לְאָבִיךָ וְאָכָל בַּעֲבֻר אֲשֶׁר יְבָרֶךְךָ לִפְנֵי מֹותֹו׃ | |
| 11 | But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. | וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־רִבְקָה אִמֹּו הֵן עֵשָׂו אָחִי אִישׁ שָׂעִר וְאָנֹכִי אִישׁ חָלָק׃ | |
| 12 | Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him, and bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing." | אוּלַי יְמֻשֵּׁנִי אָבִי וְהָיִיתִי בְעֵינָיו כִּמְתַעְתֵּעַ וְהֵבֵאתִי עָלַי קְלָלָה וְלֹא בְרָכָה׃ | |
| 13 | His mother said to him, "Upon me be your curse, my son; only obey my word, and go, fetch them to me." | וַתֹּאמֶר לֹו אִמֹּו עָלַי קִלְלָתְךָ בְּנִי אַךְ שְׁמַע בְּקֹלִי וְלֵךְ קַח־לִי׃ | |
| 14 | So he went and took them and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared savory food, such as his father loved. | וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיִּקַּח וַיָּבֵא לְאִמֹּו וַתַּעַשׂ אִמֹּו מַטְעַמִּים כַּאֲשֶׁר אָהֵב אָבִיו׃ | |
| 15 | Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son; | וַתִּקַּח רִבְקָה אֶת־בִּגְדֵי עֵשָׂו בְּנָהּ הַגָּדֹל הַחֲמֻדֹת אֲשֶׁר אִתָּהּ בַּבָּיִת וַתַּלְבֵּשׁ אֶת־יַעֲקֹב בְּנָהּ הַקָּטָן׃ | |
| 16 | and the skins of the kids she put upon his hands and upon the smooth part of his neck; | וְאֵת עֹרֹת גְּדָיֵי הָעִזִּים הִלְבִּישָׁה עַל־יָדָיו וְעַל חֶלְקַת צַוָּארָיו׃ | |
| 17 | and she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. | וַתִּתֵּן אֶת־הַמַּטְעַמִּים וְאֶת־הַלֶּחֶם אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂתָה בְּיַד יַעֲקֹב בְּנָהּ׃ | |
| 18 | So he went in to his father, and said, "My father"; and he said, "Here I am; who are you, my son?" | וַיָּבֹא אֶל־אָבִיו וַיֹּאמֶר אָבִי וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֶּנִּי מִי אַתָּה בְּנִי׃ | |
| 19 | Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your first-born. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that you may bless me." | וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־אָבִיו אָנֹכִי עֵשָׂו בְּכֹרֶךָ עָשִׂיתִי כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ אֵלָי קוּם־נָא שְׁבָה וְאָכְלָה מִצֵּידִי בַּעֲבוּר תְּבָרֲכַנִּי נַפְשֶׁךָ׃ | |
| 20 | But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He answered, "Because Yahweh your God granted me success." | וַיֹּאמֶר יִצְחָק אֶל־בְּנֹו מַה־זֶּה מִהַרְתָּ לִמְצֹא בְּנִי וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי הִקְרָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְפָנָי׃ | |
| 21 | Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not." | וַיֹּאמֶר יִצְחָק אֶל־יַעֲקֹב גְּשָׁה־נָּא וַאֲמֻשְׁךָ בְּנִי הַאַתָּה זֶה בְּנִי עֵשָׂו אִם־לֹא׃ | |
| 22 | So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, who felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau." | וַיִּגַּשׁ יַעֲקֹב אֶל־יִצְחָק אָבִיו וַיְמֻשֵּׁהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר הַקֹּל קֹול יַעֲקֹב וְהַיָּדַיִם יְדֵי עֵשָׂו׃ | |
| 23 | And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him. | וְלֹא הִכִּירֹו כִּי־הָיוּ יָדָיו כִּידֵי עֵשָׂו אָחִיו שְׂעִרֹת וַיְבָרְכֵהוּ׃ | |
| 24 | He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He answered, "I am." | וַיֹּאמֶר אַתָּה זֶה בְּנִי עֵשָׂו וַיֹּאמֶר אָנִי׃ | |
| 25 | Then he said, "Bring it to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you." So he brought it to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. | וַיֹּאמֶר הַגִּשָׁה לִּי וְאֹכְלָה מִצֵּיד בְּנִי לְמַעַן תְּבָרֶךְךָ נַפְשִׁי וַיַּגֶּשׁ־לֹו וַיֹּאכַל וַיָּבֵא לֹו יַיִן וַיֵּשְׁתְּ׃ | |
| 26 | Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near and kiss me, my son." | וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יִצְחָק אָבִיו גְּשָׁה־נָּא וּשְׁקָה־לִּי בְּנִי׃ | |
| 27 | So he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, "See, the smell of my son | וַיִּגַּשׁ וַיִּשַּׁק־לֹו וַיָּרַח אֶת־רֵיחַ בְּגָדָיו וַיְבָרֲכֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר רְאֵה רֵיחַ בְּנִי כְּרֵיחַ שָׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר בֵּרֲכֹו יְהוָה׃ | |
| 28 | May God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine. | וְיִתֶּן־לְךָ הָאֱלֹהִים מִטַּל הַשָּׁמַיִם וּמִשְׁמַנֵּי הָאָרֶץ וְרֹב דָּגָן וְתִירֹשׁ׃ | |
| 29 | Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be every one who curses you, and blessed be every one who blesses you!" | יַעַבְדוּךָ עַמִּים כ= וְיִשְׁתַּחֲוֻ ק= וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְךָ לְאֻמִּים הֱוֵה גְבִיר לְאַחֶיךָ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲוּוּ לְךָ בְּנֵי אִמֶּךָ אֹרְרֶיךָ אָרוּר וּמְבָרֲכֶיךָ בָּרוּךְ׃ | |
| 30 | As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. | Esau asks Isaac for a blessing. Gn.27.30-45 | וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר כִּלָּה יִצְחָק לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־יַעֲקֹב וַיְהִי אַךְ יָצֹא יָצָא יַעֲקֹב מֵאֵת פְּנֵי יִצְחָק אָבִיו וְעֵשָׂו אָחִיו בָּא מִצֵּידֹו׃ |
| 31 | He also prepared savory food, and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me." | וַיַּעַשׂ גַּם־הוּא מַטְעַמִּים וַיָּבֵא לְאָבִיו וַיֹּאמֶר לְאָבִיו יָקֻם אָבִי וְיֹאכַל מִצֵּיד בְּנֹו בַּעֲבוּר תְּבָרֲכַנִּי נַפְשֶׁךָ׃ | |
| 32 | His father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am your son, your first-born, Esau." | וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו יִצְחָק אָבִיו מִי־אָתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר אֲנִי בִּנְךָ בְכֹרְךָ עֵשָׂו׃ | |
| 33 | Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him? - Yes, and he shall be blessed." | וַיֶּחֱרַד יִצְחָק חֲרָדָה גְּדֹלָה עַד־מְאֹד וַיֹּאמֶר מִי־אֵפֹוא הוּא הַצָּד־צַיִד וַיָּבֵא לִי וָאֹכַל מִכֹּל בְּטֶרֶם תָּבֹוא וָאֲבָרֲכֵהוּ גַּם־בָּרוּךְ יִהְיֶה׃ | |
| 34 | When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father!" | כִּשְׁמֹעַ עֵשָׂו אֶת־דִּבְרֵי אָבִיו וַיִּצְעַק צְעָקָה גְּדֹלָה וּמָרָה עַד־מְאֹד וַיֹּאמֶר לְאָבִיו בָּרֲכֵנִי גַם־אָנִי אָבִי׃ | |
| 35 | But he said, "Your brother came with guile, and he has taken away your blessing." | וַיֹּאמֶר בָּא אָחִיךָ בְּמִרְמָה וַיִּקַּח בִּרְכָתֶךָ׃ | |
| 36 | Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright; and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?" | וַיֹּאמֶר הֲכִי קָרָא שְׁמֹו יַעֲקֹב וַיַּעְקְבֵנִי זֶה פַעֲמַיִם אֶת־בְּכֹרָתִי לָקָח וְהִנֵּה עַתָּה לָקַח בִּרְכָתִי וַיֹּאמַר הֲלֹא־אָצַלְתָּ לִּי בְּרָכָה׃ | |
| 37 | Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?" | וַיַּעַן יִצְחָק וַיֹּאמֶר לְעֵשָׂו הֵן גְּבִיר שַׂמְתִּיו לָךְ וְאֶת־כָּל־אֶחָיו נָתַתִּי לֹו לַעֲבָדִים וְדָגָן וְתִירֹשׁ סְמַכְתִּיו וּלְכָה אֵפֹוא מָה אֶעֱשֶׂה בְּנִי׃ | |
| 38 | Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father." And Esau lifted up his voice and wept. | וַיֹּאמֶר עֵשָׂו אֶל־אָבִיו הַבְרָכָה אַחַת הִוא־לְךָ אָבִי בָּרֲכֵנִי גַם־אָנִי אָבִי וַיִּשָּׂא עֵשָׂו קֹלֹו וַיֵּבְךְּ׃ | |
| 39 | Then Isaac his father answered him: "Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be, | וַיַּעַן יִצְחָק אָבִיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּה מִשְׁמַנֵּי הָאָרֶץ יִהְיֶה מֹושָׁבֶךָ וּמִטַּל הַשָּׁמַיִם מֵעָל׃ | |
| 40 | By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but when you break loose you shall break his yoke from your neck." | וְעַל־חַרְבְּךָ תִחְיֶה וְאֶת־אָחִיךָ תַּעֲבֹד וְהָיָה כַּאֲשֶׁר תָּרִיד וּפָרַקְתָּ עֻלֹּו מֵעַל צַוָּארֶךָ׃ | |
| 41 | Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob." | וַיִּשְׂטֹם עֵשָׂו אֶת־יַעֲקֹב עַל־הַבְּרָכָה אֲשֶׁר בֵּרֲכֹו אָבִיו וַיֹּאמֶר עֵשָׂו בְּלִבֹּו יִקְרְבוּ יְמֵי אֵבֶל אָבִי וְאַהַרְגָה אֶת־יַעֲקֹב אָחִי׃ | |
| 42 | But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah; so she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself by planning to kill you. | וַיֻּגַּד לְרִבְקָה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי עֵשָׂו בְּנָהּ הַגָּדֹל וַתִּשְׁלַח וַתִּקְרָא לְיַעֲקֹב בְּנָהּ הַקָּטָן וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּה עֵשָׂו אָחִיךָ מִתְנַחֵם לְךָ לְהָרְגֶךָ׃ | |
| 43 | Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee to Laban my brother in Haran, | וְעַתָּה בְנִי שְׁמַע בְּקֹלִי וְקוּם בְּרַח־לְךָ אֶל־לָבָן אָחִי חָרָנָה׃ | |
| 44 | and stay with him a while, until your brother's fury turns away; | וְיָשַׁבְתָּ עִמֹּו יָמִים אֲחָדִים עַד אֲשֶׁר־תָּשׁוּב חֲמַת אָחִיךָ׃ | |
| 45 | until your brother's anger turns away, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send, and fetch you from there. Why should I be bereft of you both in one day?" | עַד־שׁוּב אַף־אָחִיךָ מִמְּךָ וְשָׁכַח אֵת אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתָ לֹּו וְשָׁלַחְתִּי וּלְקַחְתִּיךָ מִשָּׁם לָמָה אֶשְׁכַּל גַּם־שְׁנֵיכֶם יֹום אֶחָד׃ | |
