You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."

Commentary
And thou shall bring it to thy father,.... For venison; and as if he was Esau that brought it:
that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death; to whom she knew by the divine oracle the blessing belonged,
Gen 25:23
, as well as by virtue of the sale of the birthright to him by his brother,
Gen 25:33
, and through Esau's forfeiting of it by marrying with the Canaanites,
Gen 26:34
; in these her sentiments she was right, but wrong in the ways and means she took to get it for him.
