Genesis 27:5-13

5And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.

6And Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,

7Bring me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, before my death.

8And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee.

9Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves.

10And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death.

11And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

12My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks [him], and I shall bring a curse on me, and not a blessing.

13And his mother said to him, On me [be] thy curse, my son! Only hearken to my voice, and go, fetch [them].
