Genesis 27:5-17
5Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it,
6Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "I heard your father speak to your brother Esau,
7'Bring me game and prepare for me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you before the Lord before I die.'
8Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command you.
9Go to the flock and bring me two good young goats, so that I may prepare from them delicious food for your father, such as he loves.
10And you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies."
11But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him and bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing."
13His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, bring them to me."
14So he went and took them and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared delicious food, such as his father loved.
15Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.
16And the skins of the young goats she put on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17And she put the delicious food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
