Genesis 27 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Jacob's Deception

Gen 27:1And it came to pass when Isaac had become old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, that he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son! And he said to him, Here am I.

Gen 27:2

Gen 27:2And he said, Behold now, I am become old; I know not the day of my death.

Gen 27:3

Gen 27:3And now, I pray thee, take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt me venison,

Gen 27:4

Gen 27:4and prepare me a savoury dish such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, in order that my soul may bless thee before I die.

Gen 27:5

Gen 27:5And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.

Gen 27:6

Gen 27:6And Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,

Gen 27:7

Gen 27:7Bring me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, before my death.

Gen 27:8

Gen 27:8And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee.

Gen 27:9

Gen 27:9Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves.

Gen 27:10

Gen 27:10And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death.

Gen 27:11

Gen 27:11And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

Gen 27:12

Gen 27:12My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks him, and I shall bring a curse on me, and not a blessing.

Gen 27:13

Gen 27:13And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, my son! Only hearken to my voice, and go, fetch them.

Gen 27:14

Gen 27:14And he went, and fetched and brought them to his mother. And his mother prepared a savoury dish such as his father loved.

Gen 27:15

Gen 27:15And Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;

Gen 27:16

Gen 27:16and she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck;

Gen 27:17

Gen 27:17and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.

Gen 27:18

Gen 27:18And he came to his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I: who art thou, my son?

Gen 27:19

Gen 27:19And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou didst say to me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.

Gen 27:20

Gen 27:20And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God put it in my way.

Gen 27:21

Gen 27:21And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be really my son Esau or not.

Gen 27:22

Gen 27:22And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

Gen 27:23

Gen 27:23And he did not discern him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands; and he blessed him.

Gen 27:24

Gen 27:24And he said, Art thou really my son Esau? And he said, It is I.

Gen 27:25

Gen 27:25And he said, Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son's venison, in order that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.

Gen 27:26

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

Gen 27:27

Gen 27:27And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelt the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed.

Gen 27:28

Gen 27:28And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and new wine.

Gen 27:29

Gen 27:29Let peoples serve thee, And races bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, And let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be they that curse thee, And blessed be they that bless thee.

The Stolen Blessing

(Heb 12:17 )

Gen 27:30

Gen 27:30And it came to pass when Isaac had ended blessing Jacob, and when Jacob was only just gone out from Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from his hunting.

Gen 27:31

Gen 27:31And he also had prepared savoury dishes, and he brought them in to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.

Gen 27:32

Gen 27:32And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.

Gen 27:33

Gen 27:33Then Isaac trembled with exceeding great trembling, and said, Who was he, then, that hunted venison and brought it to me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him; also blessed he shall be.

Gen 27:34

Gen 27:34When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me -- me also, my father!

Gen 27:35

Gen 27:35And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and has taken away thy blessing.

Gen 27:36

Gen 27:36And he said, Is it not therefore he was named Jacob, for he has supplanted me now twice? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?

Gen 27:37

Gen 27:37And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him lord over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and with corn and new wine have I supplied him -- and what can I do now for thee, my son?

Gen 27:38

Gen 27:38And Esau said to his father, Hast thou then but one blessing, my father? bless me -- me also, my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

Gen 27:39

Gen 27:39And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above;

Gen 27:40

Gen 27:40And by thy sword shalt thou live; And thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou rovest about, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

Gen 27:41

Gen 27:41And 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, and I will slay my brother Jacob.

Gen 27:42

Gen 27:42And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee.

Gen 27:43

Gen 27:43And now, my son, hearken to my voice, and arise, flee to Laban my brother, to Haran;

Gen 27:44

Gen 27:44and abide with him some days, until thy brother's fury turn away --

Gen 27:45

Gen 27:45until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; then I will send and fetch thee thence. Why should I be bereaved even of you both in one day?

Gen 27:46

Gen 27:46And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good should my life do me?

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
