And he said:
behold, I am old and know not the day of my death: Now therefore
take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and get thee to the
fields, and take me some venison, and make me meat such as I love,
and bring it me and let me eat that my soul may bless thee before
that I die. But Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son.
And as soon as Esau was gone to the field to catch venison, and to
bring it, she spake unto Iacob her son saying: Behold I have heard
thy father talking with Esau thy brother and saying: bring me
venison and make me meat, that I may eat and bless thee before the
LORD yer I die. Now therefore my son hear my voice in that which I
command thee: get thee to the flock, and bring me thence two good
kids, and I will make meat of them for thy father, such as he
loveth. And thou shalt bring it to thy father and he shall eat,
that he may bless thee before his death. Then said Iacob to
Rebecca his mother: Behold Esau my brother is rough and I am
smooth. My father shall peradventure feel me, and I shall seem
unto him as though I went about to beguile him, and so shall he
bring a curse upon me and not a blessing: and his mother said unto
him. Upon me be thy curse my son, only hear my voice, and go and
fetch me them.
