Genesis 27:6-13

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."
