Genesis 27:5-13

5Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac said to his son Esau. So while Esau went to the field to hunt some game to bring in,

6Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father talking with your brother Esau. He said,

7‘Bring me game and make a delicious meal for me to eat so that I can bless you in the Lord’s presence before I die.’

8Now, my son, listen to me and do what I tell you.

9Go to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, and I will make them into a delicious meal for your father — the kind he loves.

10Then take it to your father to eat so that he may bless you before he dies.”

11Jacob answered Rebekah his mother, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am a man with smooth skin.

12Suppose my father touches me. Then I will be revealed to him as a deceiver and bring a curse rather than a blessing on myself.”

13His mother said to him, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey me and go get them for me.”
