Genesis 27:11-17

11Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “My brother Esau is a hairy man, and my skin is smooth.

12My father will feel ⌞my skin⌟ and think I’m mocking him. Then I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.”

13His mother responded, “Let any curse on you fall on me, Son. Just obey me and go! Get me ⌞the young goats⌟.”

14He went and got them and brought them to his mother. She prepared a good-tasting meal, just the way his father liked it.

15Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s good clothes, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.

16She put the skins from the young goats on his hands and on the back of his neck.

17Then she gave her son Jacob the good-tasting meal and the bread she had prepared.
