Genesis 27:6-13
6Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father tell your brother Esau,
7‘Bring me some wild game and prepare for me some tasty food. Then I will eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before I die.’
8Now then, my son, do exactly what I tell you!
9Go to the flock and get me two of the best young goats. I’ll prepare them in a tasty way for your father, just the way he loves them.
10Then you will take it to your father. Thus he will eat it and bless you before he dies.”
11“But Esau my brother is a hairy man,” Jacob protested to his mother Rebekah, “and I have smooth skin!
12My father may touch me! Then he’ll think I’m mocking him and I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.”
13So his mother told him, “Any curse against you will fall on me, my son! Just obey me! Go and get them for me!”
