“Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.”
He asked him to bring him some tasty food so that he may eat it and bless him in the presence of the LORD before his death. Rebekah reports Isaac's intention accurately — the blessing in the presence of the LORD is the covenant weight of what is at stake. The blessing Isaac intends is not a casual parental preference; it is a formal covenant pronouncement made before God. The application: the weight of what is at stake — a covenant blessing in the presence of the LORD — is the weight that should have driven Rebekah to prayer rather than to scheme.
