Book of Jubilees 26:1–35

¹ And in the seventh year of this week Isaac called Esau, his elder Son, and said unto him: ' I am [2114 A.M.] old, my son, and behold my eyes are dim in seeing, and I know not the day of my death. (JUB) ² And now take thy hunting weapons thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt and catch me (venison), my son, and make me savoury meat, such as my soul loveth, and bring it to me that I may eat, and that my soul may bless thee before I die.'

(JUB) ⁵ And Rebecca called Jacob, her son, and said unto him: 'Behold, I heard Isaac, thy father, speak unto Esau, thy brother, saying: "Hunt for me, and make me savoury meat, and bring (it) to me that (JUB) ⁶ I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die."

(JUB) ¹³ And Jacob went in to his father and said: 'I am thy son: I have done according as thou badest me: arise and sit and eat of that which I have caught, father, that thy soul may bless me.' (JUB) ¹⁴ And Isaac said to his son: 'How hast thou found so quickly, my son? (JUB) ¹⁵ 'And Jacob said: 'Because <the Lord> thy God caused me to find.'
