John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Genesis 27:3

Take me some venison that I may; bless thee — Esau must go a hunting and bring some venison. In this he designed not so much the refreshment of his own spirits, as the receiving a fresh instance of his son's, filial duty and affection to him, before he bestowed this favour upon him. That my soul may bless thee before I die — Prayer is the work of the soul, and not of the lips only; as the soul must be employed in blessing God, Psalms 103:1, so it must be in blessing ourselves and others: the blessing will not go to the heart, if it do not come from the heart.
