Yitzḥak sends Esav to hunt

26:1And in the seventh year of this week Yitzḥak (Isaac) called Esav (Esau), his elder son, and said unto him, “I am old, my son, and behold, my eyes are dim in seeing, and I do not know the day of my death.

26:1Y en el séptimo año de esta semana Yitzjak (Isaac) llamó a Esav (Esaú), su hijo mayor, y le dijo: «Yo soy viejo, hijo mío, y he aquí, mis ojos se han oscurecido para ver, y no sé el día de mi muerte.

26:2And now take your hunting weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt and catch me venison, my son, and make me savory meat, such as my soul loves, and bring it to me that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”

26:2Y ahora toma tus armas de caza, tu aljaba y tu arco, y sal al campo, y caza y tráeme venado, hijo mío, y hazme un guisado sabroso, como a mi alma le gusta, y tráemelo para que coma, y para que mi alma te bendiga antes que muera».

Rivkah’s plan

26:5And Rivkah called Yaakov (Jacob), her son, and said unto him, “Behold, I heard Yitzḥak, your father, speak unto Esav, your brother, saying, ‘Hunt for me, and make me savory meat, and bring it to me that

26:5Y Rivká llamó a Yaakov (Jacob), su hijo, y le dijo: «He aquí, oí a Yitzjak, tu padre, que hablaba a Esav, tu hermano, diciendo: “Caza para mí, y hazme un guisado sabroso, y tráemelo para que

26:6I may eat and bless you before Hashem before I die.’ And now, my son, obey my voice in that which I command you: go to your flock and fetch me two good kids of the goats, and I will make them savory meat for your father, such as he loves, and you shall bring it to your father that he may eat and bless you before Hashem before he dies, and that you may be blessed.”

Ahora pues, hijo mío, obedece mi voz en lo que te mando: ve a tu rebaño y tráeme dos buenos cabritos de las cabras, y yo haré de ellos un guisado sabroso para tu padre, como a él le gusta, y tú se lo llevarás a tu padre para que coma y te bendiga delante de Hashem antes de su muerte, y para que seas bendito».

26:7And Yaakov said to Rivkah his mother, “Mother, I shall not withhold anything which my father would eat, and which would please him; only I fear, my mother, that he will recognize my voice and wish to touch me.

26:7Y Yaakov dijo a Rivká su madre: «Madre, no negaré nada de lo que mi padre comería y de lo que le agradaría; solamente temo, madre mía, que reconozca mi voz y quiera tocarme.

26:8And you know that I am smooth, and Esav, my brother, is hairy, and I shall appear before his eyes as an evildoer, and shall do a deed which he had not commanded me, and he will be angry with me, and I shall bring upon myself a curse, and not a blessing.”

26:8Y tú sabes que yo soy lampiño, y Esav, mi hermano, es velludo, y pareceré ante sus ojos como un malhechor, y haré algo que él no me ha mandado, y se enojará conmigo, y traeré sobre mí maldición y no bendición».

26:9And Rivkah, his mother, said unto him, “Upon me be your curse, my son; only obey my voice.”

26:10And Yaakov obeyed the voice of Rivkah, his mother, and went and fetched two good and fat kids of the goats, and brought them to his mother, and his mother made them savory meat such as he loved.

26:10Y Yaakov obedeció la voz de Rivká, su madre, y fue y trajo dos cabritos de las cabras, buenos y gordos, y los llevó a su madre, y su madre hizo de ellos un guisado sabroso, como a él le gustaba.

26:11And Rivkah took the goodly raiment of Esav, her elder son, which was with her in the house, and she clothed Yaakov, her younger son, with them, and she put the skins of the kids upon his hands and on the exposed parts of his neck.

26:11Y Rivká tomó los vestidos preciosos de Esav, su hijo mayor, que tenía consigo en casa, y vistió con ellos a Yaakov, su hijo menor, y puso las pieles de los cabritos sobre sus manos y sobre la parte descubierta de su cuello.

Yaakov receives the blessing

26:13And Yaakov went in to his father and said, “I am your son: I have done as you told me: arise and sit and eat of that which I have caught, father, that your soul may bless me.”

26:13Y Yaakov entró a su padre y dijo: «Yo soy tu hijo; he hecho como me dijiste; levántate, siéntate y come de lo que he cazado, padre, para que tu alma me bendiga».

26:14And Yitzḥak said to his son, “How have you found it so quickly, my son?”

26:14Y Yitzjak dijo a su hijo: «¿Cómo lo has hallado tan pronto, hijo mío?».

26:16And Yitzḥak said unto him, “Come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are my son Esav or not.”

26:17And Yaakov went near to Yitzḥak, his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice is Yaakov’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esav,”

26:17Y Yaakov se acercó a Yitzjak, su padre, y él lo palpó y dijo: «La voz es la voz de Yaakov, pero las manos son las manos de Esav»;

26:18and he did not discern him, because it was a dispensation from heaven to remove his power of perception; and Yitzḥak did not discern, for his hands were hairy as his brother Esav’s, so that he blessed him.

26:18y no lo reconoció, porque fue una disposición del cielo para quitarle la facultad de percibir; y Yitzjak no lo reconoció, porque sus manos eran velludas como las de su hermano Esav, de modo que lo bendijo.

26:19And he said, “Are you my son Esav?” And he said, “I am your son.” And he said, “Bring it near to me that I may eat of that which you have caught, my son, that my soul may bless you.”

26:19Y dijo: «¿Eres tú mi hijo Esav?». Y él respondió: «Yo soy tu hijo». Y dijo: «Acércamelo para que coma de lo que has cazado, hijo mío, para que mi alma te bendiga».

26:20And he brought it near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine and he drank.

26:22Y él se acercó y lo besó. Y olió el olor de sus vestidos, y lo bendijo y dijo: «He aquí, el olor de mi hijo es como el olor de un campo lleno que Hashem ha bendecido.

26:24Sé señor de tus hermanos, e inclínense delante de ti los hijos de tu madre; y todas las bendiciones con que Hashem me ha bendecido a mí y bendijo a Avraham (Abraham), mi padre, sean dadas a ti y a tu descendencia para siempre: maldito el que te maldiga, y bendito el que te bendiga».

Esav’s bitter cry

26:25And it came to pass, as soon as Yitzḥak had made an end of blessing his son Yaakov, and Yaakov had gone forth from Yitzḥak his father, that he hid himself, and Esav, his brother, came in from his hunting.

26:25Y aconteció que, apenas Yitzjak acabó de bendecir a su hijo Yaakov, y Yaakov hubo salido de delante de Yitzjak su padre, se escondió; y Esav, su hermano, volvió de su cacería.

26:26And he also made savory meat, and brought it to his father, and said unto his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”

26:26E hizo él también un guisado sabroso, y lo trajo a su padre, y dijo a su padre: «Levántese mi padre y coma de mi caza, para que tu alma me bendiga».

26:27And Yitzḥak, his father, said unto him, “Who are you?” And he said unto him, “I am your firstborn, your son Esav: I have done as you have commanded me.”

26:27Y Yitzjak, su padre, le dijo: «¿Quién eres tú?». Y él le dijo: «Yo soy tu primogénito, tu hijo Esav; he hecho como me mandaste».

26:28And Yitzḥak was very greatly astonished, and said, “Who is he that has hunted and caught and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? And he shall be blessed, and all his seed forever.”

26:28Y Yitzjak se asombró en gran manera, y dijo: «¿Quién es el que cazó y atrapó y me lo trajo, y yo comí de todo antes que tú vinieses, y lo bendije? Y será bendito, él y toda su descendencia para siempre».

26:29And it came to pass, when Esav heard the words of his father Yitzḥak, that he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said unto his father, “Bless me, even me also, father.”

26:29Y aconteció que cuando Esav oyó las palabras de su padre Yitzjak, clamó con un clamor muy grande y amargo, y dijo a su padre: «Bendíceme también a mí, padre».

26:30And he said unto him, “Your brother came with guile, and has taken away your blessing.” And he said, “Now I know why his name is named Yaakov: behold, he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing.”

26:30Y él le dijo: «Vino tu hermano con engaño, y tomó tu bendición». Y él dijo: «Ahora sé por qué se llama su nombre Yaakov: he aquí, me ha suplantado estas dos veces: me quitó mi primogenitura, y ahora me ha quitado mi bendición».

Note. The name Yaakov sounds like a Hebrew word meaning “to supplant”; compare Genesis 27:36.

26:31And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me, father?” And Yitzḥak answered and said unto Esav, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants, and with plenty of grain and wine and oil have I strengthened him: and what now shall I do for you, my son?”

26:31Y dijo: «¿No has guardado una bendición para mí, padre?». Y Yitzjak respondió y dijo a Esav: «He aquí, yo lo he puesto por señor tuyo, y le he dado por siervos a todos sus hermanos, y con abundancia de grano, y de vino, y de aceite lo he fortalecido; ¿qué, pues, haré ahora por ti, hijo mío?».

26:32And Esav said to Yitzḥak, his father, “Have you but one blessing, O father? Bless me, even me also, father.”

26:32Y Esav dijo a Yitzjak, su padre: «¿No tienes más que una sola bendición, oh padre? Bendíceme también a mí, padre».

26:33And Esav lifted up his voice and wept. And Yitzḥak answered and said unto him, “Behold, far from the dew of the earth shall be your dwelling, and far from the dew of heaven from above.

26:33Y alzó Esav su voz y lloró. Y Yitzjak respondió y le dijo: «He aquí, lejos del rocío de la tierra será tu habitación, y lejos del rocío del cielo de arriba.

፴፫(in the Ge’ez, part of verse 32)

26:34And by your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. And it shall come to pass, when you become great and shake his yoke from off your neck, you shall sin a complete sin unto death, and your seed shall be rooted out from under heaven.”

26:34Y por tu espada vivirás, y a tu hermano servirás. Y sucederá que cuando te engrandezcas y sacudas su yugo de sobre tu cuello, pecarás un pecado completo de muerte, y tu descendencia será desarraigada de debajo del cielo».

Sources & method

English translation
R. H. Charles, The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament (Oxford, 1913), public domain, lightly modernized by Benei Avraham in the same way as our Bible pages: “thee/thou” become “you,” older verb forms are updated, people and places carry their Hebrew names with the familiar English name in parentheses the first time on each page, and “the Lord” (God) is written “Hashem.” Charles’s editorial dates are given in the notes. Digital text from the CrossWire Bible Society’s SWORD module (public domain).
Spanish translation
Translated by Benei Avraham from the English column, in the style of our Reina-Valera pages: Hashem for the Divine Name, Elohim for God, and Hebrew names. There is no public-domain Spanish translation of this book. Choose a translation with the Language drop-down; the choice is remembered on this device.
Ge’ez text
Ge’ez (classical Ethiopic) is the language of the Ethiopian Bible and the only language in which the whole book has survived; it was translated from Greek, which was translated from the lost Hebrew original. The text is August Dillmann’s edition (19th century, public domain) as published in the EOTCOpenSource Bible dataset. Verse numbers follow Charles; where Dillmann’s numbering joins two verses, the later verse says so.
