Genesis 27:1-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
1Now 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.' 2Then Isaac said, 'Behold now, I am old and I do not know the day of my death. 3Now then, please take your gear, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me; 4and prepare a delicious meal 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 while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game to bring home,
6Rebekah said to her son Jacob, 'Behold, I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, saying,
7‘Bring me some game and prepare a delicious meal for me, so that I may eat, and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.’
King James Version
Chapter 27
1And 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. 2And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: 3Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; 4And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. 5And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.Christian Standard Bible
2He said, "Look, I am old and do not know the day of my death.
3So now take your hunting gear, your quiver and bow, and go out in the field to hunt some game for me.
4Then make me a delicious meal that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I can bless you before I die."
5Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac said to his son Esau. So while Esau went to the field to hunt some game to bring in,
6Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "Listen! I heard your father talking with your brother Esau. He said,
7Bring me game and make a delicious meal for me to eat so that I can bless you in the Lord's presence before I die.'
New Living Translation
2I am an old man now,' Isaac said, 'and I don’t know when I may die.
3Take your bow and a quiver full of arrows, and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.
4Prepare my favorite dish, and bring it here for me to eat. Then I will pronounce the blessing that belongs to you, my firstborn son, before I die.'

1When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son”; and he answered, “Here I am.” 2He said, “Behold, I am old; I do not know the day of my death. 3Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me, 4and prepare for me delicious food, such as I love, and bring it to me so that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it,
6Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “I heard your father speak to your brother Esau,
7‘Bring me game and prepare for me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you before the LORD before I die.’

3Now then, get your equipment--your quiver and bow--and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.
4Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing before I die.'
5Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country to hunt game and bring it back,

7‘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.’
