Genesis
27:1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old and his eyes were
dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son and said unto
him, My son. And he said unto him behold,
here am I.
Genesis
27:2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death.
Genesis
27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, your weapons, your quiver and
your bow and go out to the field and take me some venison.
Genesis
27:4 And make me savoury
meat, such as I love and bring it to me, that I may eat, so that my soul
may bless you before I die.
Genesis
27:5-7 And Rebekah heard when
Isaac.(Isaac
getting together with Rebekah:.Genesis
24:67; 25:20).spake
to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison and to
bring it. And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard
your father speak unto Esau your brother, saying, Bring me venison and
make me savoury meat that I may eat and bless you before the Lord before
my death.
Genesis
27:8-10 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which
I command thee.(she
had a plan to deceive her husband and have his blessing go to the son she
preferred).
Go now to the flock.(she
told Jacob, the son she preferred, to go to the flock that was obviously
close and had their young with them; while Esau
her first son, that she was scheming
against to snatch
the birthright from, was gone into the field {verse 3} to catch a deer).and
fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats and I will make them savoury
meat for your father, such as he loves. And you shall bring it to your
father, that he may eat and that he may bless you before his death.
Genesis
27:11,12 And Jacob said to Rebekah
his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man and I am a smooth man.
My father peradventure.(perhaps).will
feel me and I shall seem to him as a deceiver and I shall bring a curse
upon me and not a blessing.
Genesis
27:13,14 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be any curse, my son.
Only obey my voice and go fetch me them. And he went and fetched and brought
them to his mother and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father
loved.
Genesis
27:15-17 And Rebekah took
goodly raiment
of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house and put them upon
Jacob her younger son. And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon
his hands and upon the smooth of his neck. And she gave the savoury meat
and the bread which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Genesis
27:18,19 And he came unto his father and said, My father! And he said,
Here am I! Who are you, my son? And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau
your firstborn.(Jacob
lies). I have done according as you asked me. Arise, I pray
thee, sit and eat of my venison
that your soul may bless me.
Genesis
27:20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that you have found it
so quickly my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God brought it to
me.(Jacob
lies again).
Genesis
27:21,22 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I
may feel thee my son, whether you be my very son Esau or not. And Jacob
went near unto Isaac his father and he felt him and said, The voice is
Jacob's voice but the hands are the hands of Esau.(Jacob's
dad Isaac didn't quite clue into what was going on).
Genesis
27:23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his
brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him.
Genesis
27:24 And he said, You are my very son Esau? And he said, I am.(Jacob
lies again).
Genesis
27:25-29 And he said, Bring it near to me and I will eat of my son's
venison, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near to him and
he did eat and he brought him wine and he drank. And his father Isaac said
unto him, Come near now and kiss me, my son. And he came near and kissed
him and he smelled the smell of his raiment and blessed him and said, See,
the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed.
Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven and the fatness of the Earth
and plenty of corn and wine. Let people serve you and nations bow down
to you. Be lord over your brethren and let your mother's sons bow down
to you.(the
eldest, the birthright son was always above other siblings).
Cursed be every one that curses you and blessed be he that blesses thee.
Genesis
27:30,31 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing
Jacob and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his
father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. And he also had
made savoury meat and brought it unto his father and said unto his father,
Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless
me.
Genesis
27:32,33 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who are thou? And he said,
I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. And Isaac trembled very exceedingly and
said, Who? where is he that has taken venison and brought it me and I have
eaten of all before you came and I have blessed him? Yea and he shall be
blessed.
Genesis
27:34,35 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with
a great and exceeding bitter cry and said unto his father, Bless me, even
me also, O my father. And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty and has
taken away your blessing.
Genesis
27:36,37 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob.(name
means 'supplanter')?
For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright.(Esau
was a bit of a dolt,
having stupidly sold his birthright earlier:.Genesis
25:27-34).and behold, now
he has taken away my blessing. And Esau said, Have you not reserved a blessing
for me? And Isaac.(Esau's
father).answered and said unto
Esau, Behold, I have made him your lord and all his brethren have I given
to him for servants and with corn and wine have I sustained him. And what
shall I do now unto you, my son?.(and
there is nothing of that left for you).
Genesis
27:38 And Esau said unto his father, Have you but one blessing, my
father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice
and wept.
Genesis
27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, your
dwelling shall be the fatness of the Earth and of the dew of heaven from
above;
Genesis
27:40 And by your sword.(symbolic
of wars, violence and threats).you'll
live and serve your brother and it shall come to pass when you have the
dominion.(a
prediction that one day Esau would have dominion over his brother Isaac),
that you'll break his yoke from off thy neck.
Explanation
of verses 39 and 40 are here.
Genesis
27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father
blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father
are at hand. Then will I slay my brother Jacob.
Esau
was probably
wringing
out his frustrations around some servant that was in the house who
could 'see' his thinking by his demeanor.
Genesis
27:42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah. And
she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said unto him, Behold, your
brother Esau, as concerning you, does comfort himself in purposing to kill
you.
Genesis
27:43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice and arise, flee you to Haran
to Laban my brother,
Genesis
27:44 And tarry with him a few days, until your brother's fury turn
away.
Genesis
27:45 Until your brother's anger turn away from you and he forgets
that which you have done to him.(she
left herself out of it, even though it was she who concocted the devious
plan, verses 8-10). Then I
will send and fetch you from thence. Why should I be deprived also of you
both at almost the same time?.(speaking
of Isaac, the man she was with whose life was coming to an end and refers
also to her son Jacob)
