1. And it came to pass, that when Isaac became 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.
2. And he said, Behold now, I am old: I know not the day of my death.
3. Now, therefore, take I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow and go out to the field and take me some venison
4. and make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee before I die.
5. And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau, his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison and to bring it.
6. Then Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau, thy brother, saying,
7. Bring me venison and make me savoury food that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before my death.
