Genesis 27 Flashcards
Genesis 27:1
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” he answered.
Genesis 27:2
Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death.
Genesis 27:3
Now then, get your weapons - your quiver and bow - and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.
Genesis 27:4
Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing before I die.”
Genesis 27:5
Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country to hunt game and bring it back,
Genesis 27:6
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau,
Genesis 27:7
Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
Genesis 27:8
Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you:
Genesis 27:9
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it.
Genesis 27:10
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing before he dies.”
Genesis 27:11
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I’m a man with smooth skin.
Genesis 27:12
What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing.”
Genesis 27:13
His mother said to him, “My son, let the curse fall on me. Just do what I say; go and get them for me.”
Genesis 27:14
So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.
Genesis 27:15
Then Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
Genesis 27:16
She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.
Genesis 27:17
Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.
Genesis 27:18
He went to his father and said, “My father.” “Yes, my son,” he answered. “Who is it?”
