Genesis 27 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Jacob's Deception

Gen 27:1It happened, that when Yitzchak was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esav his elder son, and said to him, "My son?" He said to him, "Here I am."

Gen 27:2

Gen 27:2He said, "See now, I am old. I don't know the day of my death.

Gen 27:3

Gen 27:3Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison.

Gen 27:4

Gen 27:4Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.

Gen 27:5

Gen 27:5Rivka heard when Yitzchak spoke to Esav his son. Esav went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.

Gen 27:6

Gen 27:6Rivka spoke to Ya`akov her son, saying, "Behold, I heard your father speak to Esav your brother, saying,

Gen 27:7

Gen 27:7'Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.'

Gen 27:8

Gen 27:8Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.

Gen 27:9

Gen 27:9Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good kids of the goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.

Gen 27:10

Gen 27:10You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."

Gen 27:11

Gen 27:11Ya`akov said to Rivka his mother, "Behold, Esav my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

Gen 27:12

Gen 27:12What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing."

Gen 27:13

Gen 27:13His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me."

Gen 27:14

Gen 27:14He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

Gen 27:15

Gen 27:15Rivka took the good clothes of Esav, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Ya`akov, her younger son.

Gen 27:16

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

Gen 27:17

Gen 27:17She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Ya`akov.

Gen 27:18

Gen 27:18He came to his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"

Gen 27:19

Gen 27:19Ya`akov said to his father, "I am Esav your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me."

Gen 27:20

Gen 27:20Yitzchak said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He said, "Because the LORD your God gave me success."

Gen 27:21

Gen 27:21Yitzchak said to Ya`akov, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esav or not."

Gen 27:22

Gen 27:22Ya`akov went near to Yitzchak his father. He felt him, and said, "The voice is Ya`akov's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esav."

Gen 27:23

Gen 27:23He didn't recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esav's hands. So he blessed him.

Gen 27:24

Gen 27:24He said, "Are you really my son Esav?" He said, "I am."

Gen 27:25

Gen 27:25He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you." He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.

Gen 27:26

Gen 27:26His father Yitzchak said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son."

Gen 27:27

Gen 27:27He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, "Behold, the smell of my son Is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.

Gen 27:28

Gen 27:28God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the eretz, and plenty of grain and new wine.

Gen 27:29

Gen 27:29Let peoples serve you, Nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, Let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, Blessed be everyone who blesses you."

The Stolen Blessing

(Heb 12:17 )

Gen 27:30

Gen 27:30It happened, as soon as Yitzchak had made an end of blessing Ya`akov, and Ya`akov had just gone out from the presence of Yitzchak his father, that Esav his brother came in from his hunting.

Gen 27:31

Gen 27:31He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me."

Gen 27:32

Gen 27:32Yitzchak his father said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esav."

Gen 27:33

Gen 27:33Yitzchak trembled violently, and said, "Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed."

Gen 27:34

Gen 27:34When Esav heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father."

Gen 27:35

Gen 27:35He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing."

Gen 27:36

Gen 27:36He said, "Isn't he rightly named Ya`akov? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?"

Gen 27:37

Gen 27:37Yitzchak answered Esav, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?"

Gen 27:38

Gen 27:38Esav said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esav lifted up his voice, and wept.

Gen 27:39

Gen 27:39Yitzchak his father answered him, "Behold, of the fatness of the eretz will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.

Gen 27:40

Gen 27:40By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, That you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."

Gen 27:41

Gen 27:41Esav hated Ya`akov because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esav said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Ya`akov."

Gen 27:42

Gen 27:42The words of Esav, her elder son, were told to Rivka. She sent and called Ya`akov her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esav comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.

Gen 27:43

Gen 27:43Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Lavan, my brother, in Haran.

Gen 27:44

Gen 27:44Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away;

Gen 27:45

Gen 27:45until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"

Gen 27:46

Gen 27:46Rivka said to Yitzchak, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Het. If Ya`akov takes a wife of the daughters of Het, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?"
