1
Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, "My son." And he answered him, "Here I am."
2
Then he said, "Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
3
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
4
And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die."
5
Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.
6
So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
7
Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.'
8
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.
