Genesis 27:3-17 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

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.

8. Now, therefore, my son, hearken unto my voice according to that which I command thee.

9. Go now to the flock and bring me from there two good kids of the goats, and I will make them savoury food for thy father, such as he loves;

10. and thou shalt bring it to thy father that he may eat and that he may bless thee before his death.

11. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man;

12. my father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon myself, and not a blessing.

13. And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son; only obey my voice and go bring me them.

14. And he went and took them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.

15. And Rebekah took good clothes of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob, her younger son:

16. And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands and upon the smooth of his neck,

17. and she gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
