2. “Look, I’m old,” he said. “I don’t know the day of my death.
3. So now, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt me some game.
4. Then prepare me a delicious meal that I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, so that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5. Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac was speaking to Esau his son. So while Esau went to the field to hunt game to bring in,
6. Rebekah said to Jacob her son, “Look, I heard your father speaking to your brother Esau saying,
7. ‘Bring me some game and prepare me a delicious meal that I may eat and bless you in Adonai’s presence before my death.’
8. So now, my son, listen to my voice, to what I am commanding you.
9. Go now to the flock and bring me two good young goats from there, so that I may prepare them as a delicious meal for your father—that he’ll love.
10. Then you’ll bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11. But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I’m a smooth man.
12. Perhaps my father will touch me, and he’ll take me for a mocker, and I’ll bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.”
13. Then his mother said to him, “Let your curse fall on me, my son. Just listen to me, and go, get them for me.”
