Genesis 27:10-22

10Then you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.” 11Jacob 1answered his mother Rebekah, “Behold, Esau my brother is a 2hairy man and I am a smooth man. 123Perhaps my father will feel me, then I will be as a 4deceiver in his sight, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.” 13But his mother said to him, “Your curse be on me, my son; only 5obey my voice, and go, get them for me.” 14So he went and got them, and brought them to his mother; and his mother made savory food such as his father loved. 15Then Rebekah took the 6best 7garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son. 16And she put the skins of the 8young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. 17She also gave the savory food and the bread, which she had made, 9to her son Jacob.

18Then he came to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?” 19Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you told me. 10Get up, please, sit and eat of my game, that 1112you may bless me.” 20Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “13Because the Lord your God caused it to happen to me.” 21Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come close, that 14I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.” 22So Jacob came close to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
