Gen 27:2

Gen 27:2And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;

Gen 27:3

Gen 27:3and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,

Gen 27:4

Gen 27:4and make for me tasteful things, such as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee before I die.'

Gen 27:5

Gen 27:7

Gen 27:7Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.

Gen 27:8

Gen 27:8'And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:

Gen 27:9

Gen 27:9Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, such as he hath loved;

Gen 27:10

Gen 27:10and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee before his death.

Gen 27:25

Gen 27:28

Gen 27:28and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine;

Gen 27:29

Gen 27:29peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee are cursed, and those who bless thee are blessed.'
