Genesis 27:2-10 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

2. Isaac said, “I am old. Maybe I will die soon.

3. So take your bow and arrows and go hunting. Kill an animal for me to eat.

4. Prepare the food that I love. Bring it to me, and I will eat it. Then I will bless you before I die.”

5. So Esau went hunting. Rebekah was listening when Isaac told this to his son Esau.

6. Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Listen, I heard your father talking to your brother Esau.

7. Your father said, ‘Kill an animal for me to eat. Prepare the food for me, and I will eat it. Then, with the Lord as witness, I will bless you before I die.’

8. So listen, son, and do what I tell you.

9. Go out to our goats and bring me two young ones. I will prepare them the way your father loves them.

10. Then you will carry the food to your father, and he will bless you before he dies.”
