00:00.800 --> 00:01.840
Chapter 27.

00:02.880 --> 00:06.780
And it came to pass that when Isaac was
old, and his eyes were dim, so that he

00:06.780 --> 00:11.640
could not see, he called Esau his eldest
son, and said unto him, My son.

00:11.880 --> 00:15.100
And he said unto him, Behold, here am I.

00:15.240 --> 00:17.980
And he said, Behold, now I am old.

00:18.620 --> 00:20.940
I know not the day of my death.

00:21.700 --> 00:27.180
Now therefore take, I pray thee,
thy weapons, thy quiver, and thy bow,

00:27.180 --> 00:34.060
and go out to the field, and take me some
venison, and make me savory meat such as I

00:34.060 --> 00:42.040
love, and bring it to me, that I may eat,
that my soul may bless thee before I die.

00:42.420 --> 00:45.260
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau
his son.

00:45.560 --> 00:48.480
And Esau went to the field to hunt for
venison, and to bring it.

00:48.780 --> 00:53.580
And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son,
saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak

00:53.580 --> 00:58.420
unto Esau thy brother, saying,
Bring me venison, and make me savory meat,

00:58.620 --> 01:02.120
that I may eat, and bless thee before the
Lord before my death.

01:02.860 --> 01:07.560
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice
according to that which I command thee.

01:08.140 --> 01:12.720
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from
thence two good kids of the goats,

01:12.880 --> 01:16.920
and I will make them savory meat for thy
father, such as he loveth.

01:17.320 --> 01:21.720
And thou shalt bring it to thy father,
that he may eat, and that he may bless

01:21.720 --> 01:23.100
thee before his death.

01:23.100 --> 01:28.540
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother,
Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man,

01:28.800 --> 01:30.080
and I am a smooth man.

01:31.000 --> 01:35.540
My father peradventure will feel me,
and I shall seem to him as a deceiver,

01:36.000 --> 01:39.020
and I shall bring a curse upon me,
and not a blessing.

01:39.440 --> 01:43.360
And his mother said unto him, Upon me be
thy curse, my son.

01:43.720 --> 01:46.640
Only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.

01:47.220 --> 01:49.520
And he went and fetched, and brought them
to his mother.

01:49.760 --> 01:52.580
And his mother made savory meat,
such as his father loved.

01:52.580 --> 01:56.720
And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her
eldest son Esau, which were with her in

01:56.720 --> 01:59.760
the house, and put them upon Jacob her
younger son.

02:00.320 --> 02:04.240
And she put the skins of the kids of the
goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth

02:04.240 --> 02:04.860
of his neck.

02:05.020 --> 02:08.140
And she gave the savory meat and the
bread, which she had prepared,

02:08.300 --> 02:09.760
into the hand of her son Jacob.

02:10.260 --> 02:12.760
And he came unto his father, and said,
My father.

02:13.140 --> 02:14.940
And he said, Here am I.

02:15.660 --> 02:17.160
Who art thou, my son?

02:17.420 --> 02:20.800
And Jacob said unto his father,
I am Esau, thy firstborn.

02:21.440 --> 02:23.820
I have done according as thou bidest me.

02:24.340 --> 02:29.620
Arise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my
venison, that thy soul may bless me.

02:29.840 --> 02:34.540
And Isaac said unto his son, How is it
that thou hast found it so quickly,

02:34.680 --> 02:35.240
my son?

02:35.600 --> 02:38.500
And he said, Because the Lord thy God
brought it to me.

02:38.800 --> 02:44.320
And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near,
I pray thee, that I may feel thee,

02:44.440 --> 02:49.500
my son, whether thou be my very son Esau,
or not.

02:50.000 --> 02:54.820
And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father,
and he felt him, and said, The voice is

02:54.820 --> 02:59.360
Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands
of Esau.

02:59.700 --> 03:03.520
And he discerned him not, because his
hands were hairy as his brother Esau's

03:03.520 --> 03:03.940
hands.

03:04.200 --> 03:08.640
So he blessed him, and he said,
Art thou my very son Esau?

03:08.900 --> 03:10.480
And he said, I am.

03:10.700 --> 03:14.980
And he said, Bring it near to me,
and I will eat of my son's venison,

03:15.260 --> 03:17.200
that my soul may bless thee.

03:17.480 --> 03:20.420
And he brought it near to him,
and he did eat, and he brought him wine,

03:20.520 --> 03:21.080
and he drank.

03:21.500 --> 03:26.380
And his father Isaac said unto him,
Come near now, and kiss me, my son.

03:26.640 --> 03:28.320
And he came near, and kissed him.

03:28.560 --> 03:32.100
And he smelled the smell of his raiment,
and blessed him, and said, See,

03:32.340 --> 03:37.700
the smell of my son is as the smell of a
field which the Lord hath blessed.

03:38.340 --> 03:43.760
Therefore, God, give thee of the dew of
heaven, and the fatness of the earth,

03:44.320 --> 03:46.720
and plenty of corn and wine.

03:47.460 --> 03:51.900
Let people serve thee, and nations bow
down to thee.

03:52.600 --> 03:59.020
Be Lord over thy brethren, and let thy
mother's sons bow down to thee.

03:59.740 --> 04:06.540
Cursed be every one that curseth thee,
and blessed be he that blesseth thee.

04:07.020 --> 04:10.760
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had
made an end of blessing Jacob,

04:10.920 --> 04:15.200
and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the
presence of Isaac his father, that Esau

04:15.200 --> 04:16.720
his brother came in from his hunting.

04:17.300 --> 04:20.460
And he also had made savory meat,
and brought it unto his father,

04:20.500 --> 04:25.300
and said unto his father, Let my father
arise, and eat of his son's venison,

04:25.800 --> 04:27.240
that thy soul may bless me.

04:27.520 --> 04:30.160
And Isaac his father said unto him,
Who art thou?

04:30.360 --> 04:34.320
And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn
Esau.

04:34.320 --> 04:39.380
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly,
and said, Who, where is he that hath taken

04:39.380 --> 04:41.200
venison, and brought it me?

04:41.740 --> 04:46.500
And I have eaten of all before thou
camest, and have blessed him.

04:47.020 --> 04:49.660
Yea, and he shall be blessed.

04:50.100 --> 04:53.580
And when Esau heard the words of his
father, he cried with a great and

04:53.580 --> 04:58.860
exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his
father, Bless me, even me also,

04:59.000 --> 04:59.840
O my father.

05:00.040 --> 05:04.120
And he said, Thy brother came with
subtlety, and hath taken away thy

05:04.120 --> 05:04.660
blessing.

05:05.120 --> 05:07.840
And he said, Is not he rightly named
Jacob?

05:08.720 --> 05:11.680
For he hath supplanted me these two times.

05:12.200 --> 05:16.260
He took away my birthright, and behold,
now he hath taken away my blessing.

05:16.460 --> 05:19.760
And he said, Hast thou not reserved a
blessing for me?

05:19.980 --> 05:25.420
And Isaac answered and said unto Esau,
Behold, I have made him thy lord,

05:25.660 --> 05:29.120
and all his brethren have I given to him
for servants.

05:29.120 --> 05:33.120
And with corn and wine have I sustained
him.

05:33.660 --> 05:37.060
And what shall I do now unto thee,
my son?

05:37.480 --> 05:41.840
And Esau said unto his father,
Hast thou but one blessing, my father?

05:42.600 --> 05:45.440
Bless me, even me also, O my father.

05:45.680 --> 05:47.780
And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

05:48.080 --> 05:53.060
And Isaac his father answered and said
unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be

05:53.060 --> 05:57.220
the flatness of the earth, and of the dew
of heaven from above.

05:57.900 --> 06:02.380
And by thy sword shalt thou live,
and shalt serve thy brother.

06:02.980 --> 06:08.700
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt
have the dominion, that thou shalt break

06:08.700 --> 06:11.460
his yoke from off thy neck.

06:11.820 --> 06:15.620
And Esau hated Jacob because of the
blessing wherewith his father blessed him.

06:15.840 --> 06:20.700
And Esau said in his heart, The days of
mourning for my father are at hand,

06:21.660 --> 06:23.720
and will I slay my brother Jacob?

06:23.720 --> 06:27.240
And these words of Esau her elder son were
told to Rebekah.

06:27.580 --> 06:31.320
And she sent and called Jacob her younger
son, and said unto him, Behold,

06:31.440 --> 06:36.240
thy brother Esau, as touching thee,
doth comfort himself, purposing to kill

06:36.240 --> 06:36.540
thee.

06:36.960 --> 06:40.920
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice,
and arise.

06:41.260 --> 06:45.840
Flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran,
and tarry with him a few days,

06:46.140 --> 06:51.260
until thy brother's fury turn away,
until thy brother's anger turn away from

06:51.260 --> 06:54.780
thee, and he forget that which thou hast
done to him.

06:55.180 --> 06:58.000
Then I will send, and fetch thee from
thence.

06:58.320 --> 07:01.780
Why should I be deprived also of you both
in one day?

07:01.980 --> 07:07.280
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of
my life because of the daughters of Heth.

07:07.720 --> 07:12.540
If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of
Heth, such as these which are of the

07:12.540 --> 07:16.320
daughters of the land, what good shall my
life do me?
