Genesis 27:18-29

18He went to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “Here I am. Which are you, my son?”

19Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I’ve done as you told me. Now sit up and eat some of my wild game so that you can bless me.”

20But Isaac asked his son, “How in the world did you find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the Lord your God brought it to me,” he replied.

21Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come closer so I can touch you, my son, and know for certain if you really are my son Esau.”

22So Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob’s, but the hands are Esau’s.”

23He did not recognize him because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So Isaac blessed Jacob.

24Then he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” “I am,” Jacob replied.

25Isaac said, “Bring some of the wild game for me to eat, my son. Then I will bless you.” So Jacob brought it to him, and he ate it. He also brought him wine, and Isaac drank.

26Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here and kiss me, my son.”

27So Jacob went over and kissed him. When Isaac caught the scent of his clothing, he blessed him, saying, “Yes, my son smells like the scent of an open field which the Lord has blessed.

28May God give you the dew of the sky and the richness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.

29May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. You will be lord over your brothers, and the sons of your mother will bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
