and prepare for me delicious food, such as I love, and bring it to me so that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”
Then he said, “Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Go to the flock and bring me two good young goats, so that I may prepare from them delicious food for your father, such as he loves.
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, ‘Bring me game and prepare for me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you before the Lord before I die.’
