7Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.

9Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
10And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
