Genesis 27:6-23

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.”

14So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother, and his mother made the delicious food his father loved.

15Then Rebekah took the best clothes of her older son Esau, which were in the house, and had her younger son Jacob wear them.

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

17Then she handed the delicious food and the bread she had made to her son Jacob.

18When he came to his father, he said, “My father.” And he answered, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”

19Jacob replied to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game so that you may bless me.”

20But Isaac said to his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” He replied, “Because the Lord your God made it happen for me.”

21Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau or not?”

22So Jacob came closer to his father Isaac. When he touched him, he said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”

23He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
