2. Isaac said, “I am old. I don’t know when I might die.
3. So take your bow and arrows, and go hunting in the field. Kill an animal for me to eat.
4. Prepare the tasty food that I love. Bring it to me, and I will eat. Then I will bless you before I die.”

8. So obey me, my son. Do what I tell you.
