SCRIPTURE

"Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loveth." — Genesis 27:9 (ASV)

Two good kids. —These would be about equal to one antelope or animal of the larger game. After Isaac had eaten of the flesh, so solemn an occasion would doubtless be marked by a feast for those, at least in the foremost tents, if not for all the household and followers of Isaac.
