“I am.”Īfter he had eaten, Isaac asked Jacob to kiss him. “Are you really my son, Esau?” Isaac asked. Isaac was not sure that it was Esau, so he asked Jacob to come close so that he could touch him. Isaac felt Jacob’s hands and neck, and they were hairy like those of Esau. “I have done as you told me and brought you the game, so that you may give me your blessing.” “Who is it?” “I am Esau, your firstborn,” lied Jacob. Jacob took the tasty food and went into his father’s tent. When Rebekah had cooked the stew, she dressed Jacob in Esau’s clothes, and covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with goatskins. So he went off and brought the goats to his mother, and she prepared the stew. “What happens if my father touches me? He would know I was tricking him, and he would curse me instead.” Rebekah told Jacob to leaveĮverything to her. “But my brother, Esau, is a hairy man,” said Jacob. Then you can take it to your father, and he will bless you before he dies.” “Go out to the flock and bring two young goats, so that I can prepare a tasty stew. Instead of leaving things to God, she decided to act while she could. Kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me,” he said, “so that I may give you my blessing before I die.” So, Isaac told Esau to go off and hunt some wild game for him to eat. It was time to give his blessing to his eldest son. Many years went by, and Isaac grew old, frail and blind. How little Esau had valued his birthright, to sell it for a plateful of stew! Jacob gave him the food and Esau ate greedily. So, Esau swore an oath to Jacob, promising to hand over his birthright. “What good is my birthright to me when I’m dying of hunger,” he replied. Then slowly he replied, “If you give me your birthright, I’ll give you some stew.”Įsau was only interested in eating. “Quickly, give me some food,” he said to Jacob, “I’m starving!” Jacob stared at Esau and thought for a moment. Esau rushed in to find Jacob cooking lentil stew. He felt very hungry, and there was a delicious smell wafting through the air. One evening, Esau returned home exhausted by a day’s hunting. Rebekah could not see how God’s prophecy could come true. The birthright, Esau would receive Isaac’s blessing for the future. This meant that Esau would be head of the family after his father’s death. So, he was due to receive the birthright from their father, Isaac. Esau was the elder of the twins as he had been born first. She had found this puzzling, but always kept it in her mind. Jacob was his mother’s favourite.īefore the twins were born, Rebekah had been told by God that, when they grew up, the older child would serve the younger. Jacob, on the other hand, was a quiet, thoughtful sort of person. He was his father’s favourite, and Isaac liked to eat the wild game caught by his strong son. Esau grew up to be a big, bearded, hairy man, who loved the countryside and was skilled at hunting. Isaac and Rebekah had twin sons, called Esau and Jacob.
