vw - Genesis:27-28

vw@Genesis:27:1 @ And it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he summoned Esau his older son and said to him, My son. And he answered him, Here am I.

vw@Genesis:27:2 @ And he said, Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.

vw@Genesis:27:3 @ Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.

vw@Genesis:27:4 @ 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.

vw@Genesis:27:5 @ And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.

vw@Genesis:27:6 @ And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,

vw@Genesis:27:7 @ Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of Jehovah before my death.

vw@Genesis:27:8 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.

vw@Genesis:27:9 @ Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves.

vw@Genesis:27:10 @ And you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death.

vw@Genesis:27:11 @ And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

vw@Genesis:27:12 @ Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing.

vw@Genesis:27:13 @ And his mother said to him, Let your curse be upon me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.

vw@Genesis:27:14 @ And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

vw@Genesis:27:15 @ And Rebekah took the good clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

vw@Genesis:27:16 @ And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

vw@Genesis:27:17 @ And she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

vw@Genesis:27:18 @ And he went in to his father and said, My father. And he said, Here am I. Who are you, my son?

vw@Genesis:27:19 @ And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn; I have done just as you have spoken to me; please arise, sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.

vw@Genesis:27:20 @ But Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah your God brought it to me.

vw@Genesis:27:21 @ And Isaac said to Jacob, Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are my very son Esau or not.

vw@Genesis:27:22 @ And Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, The voice is Jacobs voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

vw@Genesis:27:23 @ And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esaus hands; so he blessed him.

vw@Genesis:27:24 @ And he said, Are you really my son Esau? And he said, I am.

vw@Genesis:27:25 @ And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my sons game, so that my soul may bless you. So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.

vw@Genesis:27:26 @ And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now and kiss me, my son.

vw@Genesis:27:27 @ And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said: Surely, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field which Jehovah has blessed.

vw@Genesis:27:28 @ Therefore, God give you of the dew of the heavens, of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain and wine.

vw@Genesis:27:29 @ Let nations serve you, and people bow down to you. Be lord over your brethren, and let your mothers sons bow down to you. Cursed is everyone who curses you, and blessed be those who bless you!

vw@Genesis:27:30 @ And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

vw@Genesis:27:31 @ And he also had made savory food, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his sons game, that your soul may bless me.

vw@Genesis:27:32 @ And his father Isaac said to him, Who are you? So he said, I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.

vw@Genesis:27:33 @ And Isaac trembled with a very great trembling, and said, Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him; and moreover, he shall be blessed.

vw@Genesis:27:34 @ And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me; me also, O my father!

vw@Genesis:27:35 @ And he said, Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.

vw@Genesis:27:36 @ And Esau said, Is he not rightly called by the name Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now behold, he has taken away my blessing! And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?

vw@Genesis:27:37 @ Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?

vw@Genesis:27:38 @ And Esau said to his father, Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me; me also, O my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

vw@Genesis:27:39 @ And Isaac his father answered and said to him: Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the heavens from above.

vw@Genesis:27:40 @ By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass, when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck.

vw@Genesis:27:41 @ And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.

vw@Genesis:27:42 @ And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and summoned Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself concerning you by intending to kill you.

vw@Genesis:27:43 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my voice: arise, flee to my brother Laban, to Haran.

vw@Genesis:27:44 @ And stay with him some days, until your brothers fury turns away,

vw@Genesis:27:45 @ until your brothers anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I be bereaved also of you both in one day?

vw@Genesis:27:46 @ And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these daughters of the land, what kind of life is that to me?

vw@Genesis:28:1 @ And Isaac summoned Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him: You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:28:2 @ Arise, go to Paddan, to the house of Bethuel your mothers father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mothers brother.

vw@Genesis:28:3 @ May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become an assembly of peoples;

vw@Genesis:28:4 @ and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and your seed with you, that you may inherit the land in which you are a sojourner, which God has given to Abraham.

vw@Genesis:28:5 @ And Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

vw@Genesis:28:6 @ And when Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,

vw@Genesis:28:7 @ and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Paddan;

vw@Genesis:28:8 @ and Esau also saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the eyes of his father Isaac;

vw@Genesis:28:9 @ that Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abrahams son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife along with the wives he had.

vw@Genesis:28:10 @ And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba and went toward Haran.

vw@Genesis:28:11 @ And he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.

vw@Genesis:28:12 @ And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to the heavens; and behold the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

vw@Genesis:28:13 @ And behold, Jehovah stood above it and said: I am Jehovah the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you are lying I give to you and your seed.

vw@Genesis:28:14 @ And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your Seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

vw@Genesis:28:15 @ Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I am not forsaking you until I have done what I have spoken to you.

vw@Genesis:28:16 @ And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I did not realize it.

vw@Genesis:28:17 @ And he was afraid and said, How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of Heaven!

vw@Genesis:28:18 @ And Jacob arose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it.

vw@Genesis:28:19 @ And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had formerly been Luz.

vw@Genesis:28:20 @ And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,

vw@Genesis:28:21 @ so that I return to my fathers house in peace, then Jehovah shall be my God.

vw@Genesis:28:22 @ And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be Gods house, and of all that You give me I will tithe to give a tithe to You.

vw@Genesis:29:1 @ So Jacob lifted his feet and came into the land of the sons of the East.
