Isaac Blesses Jacob

27 When Isaac was old and ^(A)his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son”; and he answered, “Here I am.”

¹⁰ Now ^(A)the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. So Joseph brought them near him, ^(B)and he kissed them and embraced them.

¹⁰ And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, ^(A)just as he said, these ^(B)forty-five years since the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now, behold, I am this day ^(C)eighty-five years old. ^11 (D)I am still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war and ^(E)for going and coming.

² At that time Eli, ^(A)whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place.

¹⁵ Now Eli was ninety-eight years old ^(A)and his eyes were set so that he could not see.
