Genesis 27:2-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

2. He said, "I’m old and don’t know when I will die.

3. So now, take your hunting gear, your bow and quiver of arrows, go out to the field, and hunt game for me.

4. Make me the delicious food that I love and bring it to me so I can eat. Then I can bless you before I die."

5. Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau went out to the field to hunt game to bring back,

6. Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "I just heard your father saying to your brother Esau,

7. ‘Bring me some game and make me some delicious food so I can eat, and I will bless you in the Lord’s presence before I die.’

8. Now, my son, listen to me, to what I’m telling you to do.

9. Go to the flock and get me two healthy young goats so I can prepare them as the delicious food your father loves.

10. You can bring it to your father, he will eat, and then he will bless you before he dies."
