Genesis 27:19-24

19Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you told me. 1Get up, please, sit and eat of my game, that 23you may bless me.”

20Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “4Because the Lord your God caused it to happen to me.”

21Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come close, that 5I 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.”

23He did not recognize him, because his hands were 6hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.

24And he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he said, “I am.”
