| 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׃ | |
