Genesis 27:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 27:6

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.”

5 Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.

6 So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,

7 ‘Bring me game and make¹ savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.’

8 Now therefore, my son, ^aobey my voice according to what I command you.

9 Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make ^asavory food from them for your father, such as he loves.

10 Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he ^amay bless you before his death.”

11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, ^aEsau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man.

12 Perhaps my father will ^afeel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring ^ba curse on myself and not a blessing.”
