Genesis 27:1

Isaac Blesses Jacob

1 Now it came to pass, when Isaac was ^aold and ^bhis 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 him, “Here I am.”

2 Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I ^ado not know the day of my death.

3 ^aNow therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.

4 And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul ^amay bless you before I die.”
