Genesis 27:6-17

6And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, 7Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death. 8Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. 9Go 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: 10and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so that he may bless thee before his death. 11And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. 13And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son; only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. 14And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved. 15And Rebekah took the goodly garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son; 16and she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: 17and she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
