1When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, "My son." "Here I am," Esau replied.
“Now it came about when Isaac was old, and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called his older son Esau, and said to him, My son? And he said to him, Here I am.”
“It came to pass that when Isaac was 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.”
“Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old, and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau, his older son, and said to him, My son, and he answered, Here I am.”
“And it came to pass That when Isaac was old And his eyes were dimmed 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.”
“And it came to pass, in verse one, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called his eldest son and said unto him, My son. And he said unto him, Behold, here am I.”
2"Look," said Isaac, "I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
“And he said, Behold, now I am old, I know not the day of my death.”
“And he said, Behold, now I am old. I know not the day of my death.”
“Isaac said, Behold now, I am old, and I do not know the day of my death.”
“And he said, Behold, now I am old. I know not the day of my death.”
“Then he said, Behold, now I am old, and I do not know the day of my death.”
“And he said behold now I am old And I know not the day of my death.”
3Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
“Now then, please take your gear, your quiver and your bow and go out to the field and hunt game for me.”
“Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver, and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me,”
“Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison,”
“Now then, please take your gear, your quiver, and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.”
“Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison,”
“Now, therefore, take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison.”
4Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die."
“and make me savory food such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”
“And prepare a savory dish for me such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, so that my soul may bless you before I die.”

“Prepare a savory dish for me such as I love. And bring it to me that I may eat so that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,
“Rebekah was listening while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game to bring home,”
“Now, Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau, his son, and Esau went to the field to hunt game and bring it.”
“Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau, verse 5, his son, and Esau went to the field to hunt for venison and to bring it.”
“was listening while Isaac spoke to his son. So when Esau, Esau went to the field to hunt for game to bring home,”
“and Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau's son. And Esau went into the field to hunt for venison and to bring it,”
“Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and bring it.”
6Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
“So Rebekah spoke to Jacob, her son, saying, Indeed, I heard your father speak to Esau, your brother, saying,”
“So Rebekah spoke to Jacob, her son, saying, Indeed, I heard your father speak to Esau, your brother, saying,”
“and Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,”
“Rebekah said to her son Jacob, Behold, I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, saying,”
“And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother saying,”
“said to her son Jacob, I heard your father speak to your brother Esau,”
7'Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.'
“Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.”

“Bring me venison, make me savory meat that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.”
“Bring me venison and make me savory food That I may eat and bless thee Before the Lord Before my death”
8Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
“Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.”
“Now, therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.”
“Now, therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.”
“Now therefore my son obey my voice According to that which I command thee.”
“Now therefore, my son, listen to me as I command you.”
“Now, therefore, my son, listen to me, and as I command you,”
9Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
“Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father such as he loves.”
“go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves.”

“Go now to the flock, and bring me two choice kids from there, that I may prepare them as a savory dish for your father such as he loves.”
10Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies."
“and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.”
“Then you shall bring it to your father that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
“And thou shalt bring it to thy father that he may eat and that he may bless thee before his death.”

“Then you bring it to your father that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
“Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, that he may bless you before his death.”
11Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, "Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
“And Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, Look, Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am a smooth -skinned man.”
“Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, Behold, Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.”
“And Jacob said to Rebecca His mother Behold Esau my brother is a hairy man And I am a smooth man.”
12What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing."
“Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him, and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”
“Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him, and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”
“perhaps my father will feel me and I shall seem to him to be a deceiver. And I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”
“my father peradventure will feel me. Notice it? See? And I shall seem to him a deceiver, and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.”
13His mother replied, "Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me."
“But his mother said to him, let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice and go get them for me.”
“And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son. Only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.”
“But his mother said to him, Your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice and go. Get them for me.”
“And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son. Only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.”
14So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
“So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory food such as his father loved.”
“And he went and fetched, and brought them to his mother. And his mother made savory meat, such as his father loved.”
“And he went out and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made the savory food such as his father loved.”
“So he went and got them, verse 14, and brought them to his mother. And his mother made savory food such as his father loved.”
“And he went, and he got them, and he brought them to his mother. And his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.”
“And he went and he fetched and brought them to his mother. And his mother made savory meat such as his father loved.”
15And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
“Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.”
“Then Rebekah took the choice clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and she put them on Jacob, the younger son.”
“Then Rebecca took the choice clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.”
“And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau which were with her in the house and put them on Jacob, her younger son.”
“And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, put there upon Jacob her younger son,”
“And Rebekah took good raiment of her of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house. And he put them upon Jacob, her young son.”
16She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
“And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.”
“And she put the skins Of the kids of the goats Upon his hands And upon the smooth of his neck.”
“and she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hand, and upon the smooth of his neck.”
“She put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.”
17Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
“Then she gave the savory food and the bread which she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.”
“She also gave the savory food and the bread which she had made to her son Jacob.”
“And she gave the savory meat and the bread which she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.”
“She gave the savory food and the bread Which she had prepared Into the hand of her son Jacob.”
“she gave him the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.”
18So Jacob went to his father and said, "My father." "Here I am!" he answered. "Which one are you, my son?"
“so he went to his father and said, My father. And he said, Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
“So he went to his father and said, my father. And he said, here I am. Who are you, my son?”
“And he came unto his father and said My father and he said here am I Who art thou my son.”
“Then he came to his father and said, My father. And he said, Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
“And he came in unto his father and said, my father. And he said, here am I. Who art thou, my son?”
“He came unto his father and said my father and he said here am I who art thou my son?”
19Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me."
“Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done just as you told me. Please arise, sit, and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.”
“And Jacob said unto his father I am Esau thy firstborn. I have done according As thou badest me Arise. I pray thee sit And eat of my venison That thy soul may bless me.”
“Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Get up, please. Sit and eat of my game that you may bless me.”
“And Jacob said unto his blind father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou biddest me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison that thy soul may bless me.”
“And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou badest me arise. I pray thee sit and eat of my venison that my soul may bless me.”
“said to his father, I am Esau, your firstborn, and I've done just as you told me. Please arise, sit, and eat of my game that your soul may bless me.”
20But Isaac asked his son, "How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?" "Because the LORD your God brought it to me," he replied.
“And Isaac said unto his son How is it that thou hast found it So quickly my son. And he said Because the Lord thy God Brought it to me.”
“Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God caused it to happen to me.”
“And Isaac said unto his son How is it that thou has found it so quickly my son? And he said because the Lord thy God brought it to me”
“But Isaac said to his son, how is it that you found it so quickly, my son? And he said, because the Lord, your God, brought it to me.”
“But Isaac said to his son, how is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And listen to this. And he said, because the Lord your God brought it to me.”
“Isaac said to his son, how is it that you have got it so quickly? And he said, because the Lord, your God, caused it to happen to me.”
21Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?"
“Isaac said to Jacob, please come near that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
“Isaac said to Jacob, please come near that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
“And Isaac said unto Jacob come near. I pray thee that I may feel thee my son. Whether thou be my very son Esau or not.”
“And Isaac said unto Jacob Come near. I pray thee that I may feel thee my son Whether thou be my very son Esau Or not.”
“and Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son, Esau, or not.”
“Isaac said unto Jacob, come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.”
22So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, "The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau."
“So Jacob came close to Isaac, his father, and he felt him and said, The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
“So Jacob went near to Isaac, his father, and he fell to him and said, the voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
“So Jacob went near to Isaac, his father, and he felt him and said, listen to this. The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
“So Jacob went near to Isaac, his father, and he felt him. He said, the voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
“Jacob went near unto Isaac his father And he felt him and said The voice is Jacob's voice. But the hands are the hands of Esau.”
“Jacob came close to his father, and he felt him and said, the voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
“And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him.”
“And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him.”
“And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands. And so he blessed him.”
“And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him.”
“And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands and so he blessed him.”
“And he discerned him not because his hands were hairy as his brother Esau's hand. So he blessed him”
24Again he asked, "Are you really my son Esau?" And he replied, "I am."
“Then he said, are you really my son Esau? He said, I am.”
“and he said art thou my very son Esau. And he said I am”
“And he said Art thou my very son Esau. And he said I am.”
“And he said, Are you really my son Esau? And he said, I am.”
“Then he said, are you really my son Esau? And he said, I am.”
“Then he said, are you really my son Esau? And he said, I am.”
25"Serve me," said Isaac, "and let me eat some of my son's game, so that I may bless you." Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; then he brought him wine, and he drank.
“he said, bring it near to me and I will eat of my son's game so that my soul may bless you. So he brought it near to him and he ate and he brought him wine and he drank.”
“He said, bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's game so that my soul may bless you. So he brought it near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.”
“And he said Bring it near to me and I will eat of my son's venison That my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him and he did eat. And he brought him wine and he drank.”
“So he said, Bring it to me and I will eat of my son's game that I may bless you. And he brought it to him and he ate. He also brought him wine and he drank.”
“and he said bring it near to me. And I'll eat of my son's venison that my soul may bless thee and he brought it near to him. And he did eat and he brought him wine and he drank”
“And he said, Well, bring it near to me and I will eat of my son's venison that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him and he did eat. And he brought him wine and he drank.”
26Then his father Isaac said to him, "Please come near and kiss me, my son."
“Then his father Isaac said to him, come near now and kiss me my son.”
“then his father Isaac said to him, come near now and kiss me, my son.”
“And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now and kiss me, my son.”
“and his father Isaac said unto him come near now. And kiss me my son.”
“And his father Isaac said unto him Come near now and kiss me my son.”
“Then his father Isaac said to him, Please come close and kiss me, my son.”
27So he came near and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him and said: "Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
“So he came close and kissed him, and when he smelled the smell of his garments, he blessed him and said, see, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed.”
“And he came near and kissed him and he smelled the smell of his clothing and he blessed him. And he said, surely the smell of my son is like the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed.”
“So he came close and kissed him. And when he smelled the smell of his garments, he blessed him and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed.”
“And he came near and he kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and he blessed him and said, surely the smell of my son is like the smell of a field, which the Lord has blessed.”
“And he came near and kissed him. And he smelled the smell of his clothing. Remember it was Esau's clothing. And blessed him and said, surely the smell of my son is like the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed.”
28May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
“Therefore, God, give thee of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of corn and wine.”
“Therefore, may God give you of the dew of heaven, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine.”
“May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine.”
“Now may God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and an abundance of grain and new wine.”
“Therefore may God give you of the dew of heaven, of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine.”
“Therefore God give thee of the Jew of heaven and The fatness of the earth and plenty of corn and wine”
29May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed."
“Let people serve you and nations bow down to you. Be Lord over your brothers and may your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you and blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
“May people serve you and nations bow down to you be master of your brothers and may your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be those who curse you and blessed be those who bless you.”

“let people serve thee and nations bow down to thee. Be Lord over thy brethren and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be everyone that curseth thee and blessed be he that blessed thee”
30As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father's presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
“And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac, his father, that Esau, his brother, came in from his hunting.”
“Now it came about as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had hardly gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.”
“And it came to pass as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.”
“And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that he saw his brother came in from his hunting,”
“it happened as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob and Jacob had scarcely gone from the presence of Isaac, his father, that Esau, his brother came in from his hunting.”
“now it happened as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac, his father, that Esau, his brother, came in from hunting.”
31He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, "My father, sit up and eat of your son's game, so that you may bless me."
“Then he also made savory food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's game that you may bless me.”
“And he also had made savory meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.”
“he also had made the savory food and he brought it to his father and he said to his father, let my father arise and eat of his son's game that your soul may bless me.”
“and he also had made savory meat, brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.”
“He also had made savory food and brought it to his father and said to his father, let my father arise and eat his son's game that your soul may bless me.”
“He also made savory food, and he brought it to his father, and he said to his father, let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that your soul may bless me.”
32But his father Isaac replied, "Who are you?" "I am Esau, your firstborn son," he answered.
“And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.”
“Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn Esau.”
“And his father Isaac said to him, who are you? So he said, I am your son, your firstborn Esau.”
“And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn.”
“And his father Isaac said to him, who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn Esau.”
“And Isaac, his father, said to him, who are you? So he said, I am your son, your firstborn Esau.”
33Isaac began to tremble violently and said, "Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!"
“and Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? Where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him. Yea, and he shall be blessed.”
“Then Isaac trembled exceedingly and said, who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came and I have blessed him and indeed he shall be blessed.”
“Isaac trembled exceedingly and said, "'Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him, and indeed, he shall be blessed.'".”
“Then Isaac trembled exceedingly and said, who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and listen to this, and I have blessed him, and indeed he shall be blessed.”
“And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? Where is he that had taken venison, and brought it me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him, yea, and he shall be blessed.”
“then Isaac trembled very violently and said, who was it then who hunted game and brought it to me and I ate it all before you came and I have blessed him. Yes, and he shall be blessed.”
34When Esau heard his father's words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, "Bless me too, O my father!"
“And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry and said unto his father, bless me, even me also, O my father.”
“And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.”
“When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.”
“And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, my father.”
“As soon as Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father, Bless me, even me also. Oh, my father.”
“When Esau heard the words of his father He cried with a great and exceedingly bitter cry And said unto his father Bless me, even me also, O father.”
35But Isaac replied, "Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing."
“But he said, your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”
“But he said, your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”
“But he said, your brother came deceitfully and he has taken away your blessing.”
“And he said, Your brother came deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.”
“And he said, Your brother came deceitfully and he's taken away your blessing.”
“And he said, Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath taken away thy blessing.”
36So Esau declared, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing." Then he asked, "Haven't you saved a blessing for me?"
