Genesis 27:2-9 New Century Version (NCV)

2. Isaac said, “I am old and don’t know when I might die.

3. So take your bow and arrows and go hunting in the field for an animal for me to eat.

4. When you prepare the tasty food that I love, bring it to me, and I will eat. Then I will bless you before I die.”

5. So Esau went out in the field to hunt.Rebekah was listening as Isaac said this to his son Esau.

6. She said to her son Jacob, “Listen, I heard your father saying to your brother Esau,

7. ‘Kill an animal and prepare some tasty food for me to eat. Then I will bless you in the presence of the Lord before I die.’

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

9. Go out to our goats and bring me two of the best young ones. I will prepare them just the way your father likes them.
