Genesis 27:5-10 New English Translation (NET)

5. Now Rebekah had been listening while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau went out to the open fields to hunt down some wild game and bring it back,

6. Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father tell your brother Esau,

7. ‘Bring me some wild game and prepare for me some tasty food. Then I will eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before I die.’

8. Now then, my son, do exactly what I tell you!

9. Go to the flock and get me two of the best young goats. I’ll prepare them in a tasty way for your father, just the way he loves them.

10. Then you will take it to your father. Thus he will eat it and bless you before he dies.”
