Genesis 27:5-17

5But Rebekah overheard what Isaac said to Esau his son; and when Esau had gone to the open country to hunt for game that he might bring back,

6Rebekah said to Jacob her [younger and favorite] son, “Listen carefully: I heard your father saying to Esau your brother,

7‘Bring me some game and make me a savory and delicious dish [of meat], so that I may eat it, and declare my blessing on you in the presence of the Lord before my death.’

8So now, my son, listen [carefully] to me [and do exactly] as I command you.

9Go now to the flock and bring me two good and suitable young goats, and I will make them into a savory dish [of meat] for your father, the kind he loves [to eat].

10Then you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”

11Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Listen, Esau my brother is a hairy man and I am a smooth [skinned] man.

12Suppose my father touches me and feels my skin; then I will be seen by him as a cheat (imposter), and I will bring his curse on me and not a blessing.”

13But his mother said to him, “May your curse be on me, my son; only listen and obey me, and go, bring the young goats to me.”

14So Jacob went and got the two young goats, and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared a delicious dish of food [with a delightful aroma], the kind his father loved [to eat].

15Then Rebekah took her elder son Esau’s best clothes, which were with her in her house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

16And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

17Then she gave her son Jacob the delicious meat and the bread which she had prepared.
