Genesis 27:18-23

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. 1Come now, sit and eat of my game, so 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 made it 5come to me.”

21Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come close, so that 6I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”

22So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, and he touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”

23And he did not recognize him, because his hands were 7hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.
