Go to the flock and get me two fat young goats; and I will make of them a meal to your father's taste:

וְקַֽח־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂ֨ה (וְ) ve. “so”

And Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, But Esau my brother is covered with hair, while I am smooth:

וְאָנֹכִ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”

If by chance my father puts his hand on me, it will seem to him that I am tricking him, and he will put a curse on me in place of a blessing.

וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

And his mother said, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get them for me.

וְלֵ֥ךְ (וְ) ve. “and”

And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck:

וְאֵ֗ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְעַ֖ל (וְ) ve. “and”

And she gave into the hand of Jacob, her son, the meat and the bread which she had made ready.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

וְאָכְלָה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Isaac said, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my son Esau or not.

וַאֲמֻֽשְׁךָ֖ (וַ) va. “so”

And Jacob went near his father Isaac: and he put his hands on him; and he said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

וְהַיָּדַ֖יִם (וְ) ve. “and”

And he did not make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.

וְלֹ֣א (וְ) ve. “and”

And he said, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it; and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.

וְאֹֽכְלָה֙ (וְ) ve. “so”

And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, my son, and give me a kiss.

וּשְׁקָה־ (וּ) u. “and”

May God give you the dew of heaven, and the good things of the earth, and grain and wine in full measure:

וְיִֽתֶּן־ (וְ) ve. “and”וּמִשְׁמַנֵּ֖י (וּ) u. “and”וְרֹ֥ב (וְ) ve. “and”וְתִירֹֽשׁ׃ (וְ) ve. “and”

Let peoples be your servants, and nations go down before you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons go down before you: a curse be on everyone by whom you are cursed, and a blessing on those who give you a blessing.

וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֤וּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְיִשְׁתַּחֲוּ֥וּ (וְ) ve. “so”וּֽמְבָרֲכֶ֖יךָ (וּֽ) u. “and”

And when Isaac had come to the end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had not long gone away from Isaac his father, Esau came in from the field.

וְעֵשָׂ֣ו (וְ) ve. “and”

And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

וְיֹאכַל֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And hearing the words of his father, Esau gave a great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Give a blessing to me, even to me, O my father!

וּמָרָ֖ה (וּ) u. “and”

And he said, Is it because he is named Jacob that he has twice taken my place? for he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not kept a blessing for me?

וְהִנֵּ֥ה (וְ) ve. “and”

And Isaac answering said, But I have made him your master, and have given him all his brothers for servants; I have made him strong with grain and wine: what then am I to do for you, my son?

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְדָגָ֥ן (וְ) ve. “and”וְתִירֹ֖שׁ (וְ) ve. “and”וּלְכָ֣ה (וּ) u. “and”

Then Isaac his father made answer and said to him, Far from the fertile places of the earth, and far from the dew of heaven on high will your living-place be:

וּמִטַּ֥ל (וּ) u. “and”

By your sword will you get your living and you will be your brother's servant; but when your power is increased his yoke will be broken from off your neck.

So Esau was full of hate for Jacob because of his father's blessing; and he said in his heart, The days of weeping for my father are near; then I will put my brother Jacob to death.

וְאַֽהַרְגָ֖ה (וְ) ve. “and”

So now, my son, do what I say: go quickly to Haran, to my brother Laban;

וְעַתָּ֥ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְק֧וּם (וְ) ve. “and”

But go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother's father, and there get yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.

וְקַח־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And may God, the Ruler of all, give you his blessing, giving you fruit and increase, so that you may become an army of peoples.
