Genesis 27:1

Context
Jacob Cheats Esau out of the Blessing

27:1 When 1  Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he was almost blind, 2  he called his older 3  son Esau and said to him, “My son!” “Here I am!” Esau 4  replied.

1 tn The clause begins with the temporal indicator (“and it happened”), making it subordinate to the main clause that follows later in the sentence.

2 tn Heb “and his eyes were weak from seeing.”

3 tn Heb “greater” (in terms of age).

4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Esau) is specified in the translation for clarity.
