2. And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
3. and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
4. and 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.'
5. And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision--to bring in;
6. and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, `Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7. Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
8. `And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:
9. Go, 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;
10. and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee before his death.
11. And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, `Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I a smooth man,
12. it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, and not a blessing;'
13. and his mother saith to him, `On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.'
14. And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath loved;
15. and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;
16. and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
17. and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.
18. And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, `My father;' and he saith, `Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?'
