Genesis 27:11-17

11But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “Behold, my brother Esau is a 1hairy man and I am a smooth man. 122Perhaps my father will touch me, then I will be like a 3deceiver 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 4obey my voice, and go, get the goats for me.” 14So he went and got them, and brought them to his mother; and his mother made a delicious meal such as his father loved. 15Then Rebekah took the 5best 6garments of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob. 16And she put the skins of the 7young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. 17She also gave the delicious meal and the bread which she had made 8to her son Jacob.
