Genesis 27:6 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 27.

2 “Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.

3 Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.

4 Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”

5 Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,

6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,

7 ‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’

8 Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.

9 Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.

10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
