MEDITATION

Genesis 27:1-4

1 Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.”And he answered him, “Here I am.”
2 Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
4 And make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”

《创世记 27：1-4》

2 他说：“我如今老了，不知道哪一天死。
3现在拿你的器械，就是箭囊和弓，往田野去为我打猎，

4照我所爱的做成美味，拿来给我吃，使我在未死之先给你祝福。”
