Genesis 27:5-13

5But Rebekah overheard what Isaac had said to his son Esau. So when Esau left to hunt for the wild game,

6she said to her son Jacob, “Listen. I overheard your father say to Esau,

7‘Bring me some wild game and prepare me a delicious meal. Then I will bless you in the Lord’s presence before I die.’

8Now, my son, listen to me. Do exactly as I tell you.

9Go out to the flocks, and bring me two fine young goats. I’ll use them to prepare your father’s favorite dish.

10Then take the food to your father so he can eat it and bless you before he dies.”

11“But look,” Jacob replied to Rebekah, “my brother, Esau, is a hairy man, and my skin is smooth.

12What if my father touches me? He’ll see that I’m trying to trick him, and then he’ll curse me instead of blessing me.”

13But his mother replied, “Then let the curse fall on me, my son! Just do what I tell you. Go out and get the goats for me!”
