Genesis 27:6-24
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].
14And he went, and fetched and brought [them] to his mother. And his mother prepared a savoury dish such as his father loved.
15And Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;
16and she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck;
17and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
18And he came to his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I: who art thou, my son?
19And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou didst say to me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.
20And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy 1God put [it] in my way.
21And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be really my son Esau or not.
22And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23And he did not discern him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands; and he blessed him.
24And he said, Art thou really my son Esau? And he said, It is I.
