1 It hayah (came to pass), that when Yatzachaq (Isaac) was zaqan (old), and his iyan (eye) were kahah (dim), so that he could not raah (see / saw), he qaraa (called) Ishaw (Esau) his gadawal (very great/important/mighty) ban (son), and amar (said) to him, “My ban (son)?” He amar (said) to him, “Here I am.”
2 He amar (said), “See now, I am zaqan (old). I don't yadai (know) the yawam (day) of my mawath (death).
3 Now therefore, please nashaa (lift) your kalay (weapons), your thalay (quiver) and your qashath (bow), and yatzaa (go out / come out) out to the shadah (field), and tzawad (take) me tzayadah (venison).
4 Ishah (make) me savory food, such as I ahab (love), and bawaa (bring) it to me, that I may akal (eat), and that my napash (soul) may barak (blessed) you taram (before) I mawath (death).”
5 Rabaqah (Rebekah) shamai (hearken / hear) when Yatzachaq (Isaac) dabar (word / matter) to Ishaw (Esau) his ban (son). Ishaw (Esau) yalak (went) to the shadah (field) to tzawad (hunt) for tzayad (venison), and to bawaa (bring) it.
6 Rabaqah (Rebekah) amar (said) to Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) her ban (son), amar (said), “Behold, I shamai (hearken / hear) your ab (father) dabar (word / matter) to Ishaw (Esau) your ach (brother/kinsman), amar (said),
7 ‘Bawaa (come) me tzayad (venison), and ishah (make) me savory food, that I may akal (eat), and barak (blessed) you panayam (face) Yahawah () panayam (face) my mawath (death).’
8 Now therefore, my ban (son), shamai (hearken / hear) my qawal (sound / voice) according to that which I tzawah (command) you.
9 Yalak (go) now to the tzaan (flock), and laqach (take / seize) me from there shanayam (two) tawab (good / proper function) young izayam (goats). I will ishah (make) them savory food for your ab (father), such as he ahab (love).
10 You shall bawaa (bring) it to your ab (father), that he may akal (eat), so that he may barak (blessed) you panayam (face) his mawath (death).”
11 Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) amar (said) to Rabaqah (Rebekah) his am (mother), “Behold, Ishaw (Esau) my ach (brother/kinsman) is a shaiyar (hairy) ayash (man / husband), and I am a chalaq (smooth) ayash (man / husband).
12 What if my ab (father) touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bawaa (bring) a qalalah (curse) on myself, and not a barakah (blessing).”
13 His am (mother) amar (said) to him, “Let your qalalah (curse) be on me, my ban (son). Only shamai (hearken / hear) my qawal (sound / voice), and yalak (go) laqach (take / seize) them for me.”
14 He yalak (went), and laqach (take / seize) them, and bawaa (bring) them to his am (mother). His am (mother) ishah (make) savory food, such as his ab (father) ahab (love).
15 Rabaqah (Rebekah) laqach (take / seize) the chamadah (good) clothes of Ishaw (Esau), her gadawal (very great/important/mighty) ban (son), which were with her in the bayath (house), and labash (put) them on Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch), her younger ban (son).
16 She labash (put) the irath (skins) of the young izayam (goats) on his yad (hand), and on the chalaqah (smooth) of his tzawaar (neck).
17 She nathan (give) the savory food and the lacham (bread), which she ishah (make) prepared, into the yad (hand) of her ban (son) Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch).
18 He bawaa (bring) to his ab (father), and amar (said), “My ab (father)?” He amar (said), “Here I am. Who are you, my ban (son)?”
19 Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) amar (said) to his ab (father), “I am Ishaw (Esau) your bakawar (firstborn). I ishah (make) done what you asked me to do. Please qawam (rise up), yashab (inhabit/dwell) and akal (eat) of my tzayad (venison), that your napash (soul) may barak (blessed) me.”
20 Yatzachaq (Isaac) amar (spoke) to his ban (son), “How is it that you matzaa (have) found it so mahar (quickly), my ban (son)?” He amar (spoke), “Because Yahawah () your Alahayam () gave me success.”
21 Yatzachaq (Isaac) amar (said) to Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch), “Please nagash (come) near, that I may mawash (feel) you, my ban (son), whether you are really my ban (son) Ishaw (Esau) or not.”
22 Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) nagash (went) near to Yatzachaq (Isaac) his ab (father). He mashash (felt) him, and amar (said), “The qawal (sound / voice) is Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) qawal (sound / voice), but the yadayam (hands) are the yadayam (hands) of Ishaw (Esau).”
23 He didn't recognize him, because his yaday (hands) were shaiyar (hairy), like his ach (brother/kinsman), Ishaw (Esau's) yaday (hands). So he barak (blessed) him.
24 He amar (said), “Are you really my ban (son) Ishaw (Esau)?” He amar (said), “I am.”
25 He amar (said), “nagash (bring) it near to me, and I will akal (eat) of my ban (son) tzayad (venison), that my napash (soul) may barak (blessed) you.” He nagash (brought) it near to him, and he akal (eat). He bawaa (bring) him yayan (wine), and he shathah (drinks).
26 His ab (father) Yatzachaq (Isaac) amar (said) to him, “nagash (come) near now, and nashaq (kiss) me, my ban (son).”
27 He nagash (came) near, and nashaq (kissed) him. He rawach (spirit / wind) the rayach (smell) of his bagad (clothing), and barak (blessed) him, and amar (spoke), “raah (see), the rayach (smell) of my ban (son) is as the rayach (smell) of a shadah (field) which Yahawah () has barak (blessed).
28 Alahayam () nathan (give) you of the tal (dew) of the sky, of the fatness of the aratz (Earth/land), and rab (plenty) of grain and new thayarawash (wine).
29 Let imayam (peoples) ibad (servant) you, and laamayam (nations) shachah (bow) down to you. Be Adawan () over your ach (brother/kinsman). Let your am (mother) banay (sons) shachah (bow) down to you. Arar (cursed) be everyone who arar (curses) you. Barak (blessed) be everyone who blesses you.”
30 It happened, as soon as Yatzachaq (Isaac) kalah (complete / finish) made an end of barak (blessed) Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch), and Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) had just yatzaa (go out / come out) out from the panayam (face) of Yatzachaq (Isaac) his ab (father), that Ishaw (Esau) his ach (brother/kinsman) bawaa (bring) in from his tzayad (hunting).
31 He also ishah (make) savory food, and bawaa (bring) it to his ab (father). He amar (said) to his ab (father), “Let my ab (father) qawam (rise up), and akal (eat) of his ban (son) tzayad (venison), that your napash (soul) may barak (blessed) me.”
32 Yatzachaq (Isaac) his ab (father) amar (said) to him, “Who are you?” He amar (said), “I am your ban (son), your bakawar (firstborn), Ishaw (Esau).”
33 Yatzachaq (Isaac) charad (trembled) violently, and amar (said), “Who, then, is he who has tzawad (taken) tzayad (venison), and bawaa (bring) it me, and I have akal (eat) of all before you bawaa (bring), and have barak (blessed) him? Yes, he will be barak (blessed).”
34 When Ishaw (Esau) shamai (hearken / hear) the dabaray (words) of his ab (father), he tzaiq (cried) with an maad (exceeding) gadawal (very great/important/mighty) and mar (bitter) tzaiqah (cry), and amar (said) to his ab (father), “barak (blessed) me, even me also, my ab (father).”
35 He amar (said), “Your ach (brother/kinsman) bawaa (bring) with maramah (deceit), and has laqach (take / seize) away your barakah (blessing).”
36 He amar (said), “Isn't he kay (surely) qaraa (called) Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch)? For he has iqab (supplanted) me these paim (two) times. He laqach (take / seize) away my bakawarah (birthright). See, now he has laqach (take / seize) away my barakah (blessing).” He amar (said), “Haven't you atzal (reserved) a barakah (blessing) for me?”
37 Yatzachaq (Isaac) inah (answer / respond) Ishaw (Esau), “Behold, I have shawam (place / establish / appoint) him your Adawan (), and all his ach (brother/kinsman) nathan (give) I given to him for ibadayam (servants). With grain and new thayarawash (wine) have I samak (sustained) him. What then will I ishah (make) for you, my ban (son)?”
38 Ishaw (Esau) amar (said) to his ab (father), “Have you but achad (one) barakah (blessing), my ab (father)? Barak (blessed) me, even me also, my ab (father).” Ishaw (Esau) nashaa (lift) up his qawal (sound / voice), and bakah (wept).
39 Yatzachaq (Isaac) his ab (father) inah (answer / respond) him, “Behold, of the fatness of the aratz (Earth/land) will be your mawashab (dwelling), and of the tal (dew) of the sky from il (over).
40 By your charab (sword) will you chayah (live), and you will ibad (servant) your ach (brother/kinsman). It will happen, when you will paraq (break) loose, that you shall shake his il (over) from off your tzawaar (neck).”
41 Ishaw (Esau) shatam (hated) Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) il (over) of the barakah (blessing) with which his ab (father) barak (blessed) him. Ishaw (Esau) amar (said) in his lab (heart), “The yamay (days) of abal (mourning) for my ab (father) are at qarab (come close). Then I will harag (kill) my ach (brother/kinsman) Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch).”
42 The dabaray (words) of Ishaw (Esau), her gadawal (very great/important/mighty) ban (son), were nagad (told) to Rabaqah (Rebekah). She shalach (send) and qaraa (called) Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch), her younger ban (son), and amar (said) to him, “Behold, your ach (brother/kinsman) Ishaw (Esau) nacham (turn away / repent) himself about you by planning to harag (kill) you.
43 Now therefore, my ban (son), shamai (hearken / hear) my qawal (sound / voice). Qawam (rise up), barach (flee) to Laban (Laban), my ach (brother/kinsman), in Charan (Haran).
44 Stay with him a achad (one) yamayam (days), ashar (who/that) your ach (brother/kinsman) fury shawab (turn) away;
45 Until your ach (brother/kinsman) ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) shawab (turn) away from you, and he shakach (forgets) what you ishah (make) done to him. Then I will shalach (send), and laqach (take / seize) you from there. Mah (why) should I be shakal (bereaved) of you shanayam (two) in achad (one) yawam (day)?”
46 Rabaqah (Rebekah) amar (said) to Yatzachaq (Isaac), “I am qawatz (weary) of my chay (life) panayam (face) of the banawath (daughters) of Chath (Heth). If Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) laqach (take / seize) a ayashah (woman / wife) of the banawath (daughters) of Chath (Heth), such as these, of the banawath (daughters) of the aratz (Earth/land), what mah (good) will my chay (life) do me?”
