Genesis 27:7

Gen 27:7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.

Ver. 7. That I may eat, and bless thee. ] Being cheered up by thy good cheer and wine, I may be the fitter instrument of the Spirit of God. So the prophet called for a minstrel. 2Ki 3:14-15 Plato called wine and music μαλακτικα , the mollifying medicines of human miseries. Cheerfulness is called for in all services.
