Genesis 27:6-23

6And RebekahH7259 spokeH559 to JacobH3290 her sonH1121, sayingH559, Behold, I heardH8085 thy fatherH1 speakH1696 to EsauH6215 thy brotherH251, sayingH559, 7BringH935 me venisonH6718, and makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, that I may eatH398, and blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 my deathH4194. 8Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 according to that whichH834 I commandH6680 thee. 9GoH3212 now to the flockH6629, and bringH3947 me from there twoH8147 goodH2896 kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795; and I will makeH6213 them savoury meatH4303 for thy fatherH1, such as he lovethH157: 10And thou shalt bringH935 it to thy fatherH1, that he may eatH398, and thatH834 he may blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 his deathH4194. 11And JacobH3290 saidH559 to RebekahH7259 his motherH517, Behold, EsauH6215 my brotherH251 is a hairyH8163 manH376, and I am a smoothH2509 manH376: 12My fatherH1 perhaps will feelH4959 me, and I shall seemH5869 to him as a deceiverH8591; and I shall bringH935 a curseH7045 upon me, and not a blessingH1293. 13And his motherH517 saidH559 to him, Upon me be thy curseH7045, my sonH1121: only obeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and goH3212 bringH3947 them to me. 14And he wentH3212, and tookH3947, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517: and his motherH517 madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, such as his fatherH1 lovedH157. 15And RebekahH7259 tookH3947 the choicestH2532 raimentH899 of her eldestH1419 sonH1121 EsauH6215, which was with her in the houseH1004, and put it uponH3847 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121:1 16And she putH3847 the skinsH5785 of the kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795 on his handsH3027, and on the smooth partH2513 of his neckH6677: 17And she gaveH5414 the savoury meatH4303 and the breadH3899, which she had preparedH6213, into the handH3027 of her sonH1121 JacobH3290.

18And he cameH935 to his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I; who art thou, my sonH1121? 19And JacobH3290 saidH559 to his fatherH1, I am EsauH6215 thy firstbornH1060; I have doneH6213 according as thou badestH1696 me: ariseH6965, I pray thee, sitH3427 and eatH398 of my venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me. 20And IsaacH3327 saidH559 to his sonH1121, How is it that thou hast foundH4672 it so quicklyH4116, my sonH1121? And he saidH559, Because the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 broughtH7136 it to meH6440.2 21And IsaacH3327 saidH559 to JacobH3290, Come nearH5066, I pray thee, that I may feelH4184 thee, my sonH1121, whether thou art my veryH2088 sonH1121 EsauH6215 or not. 22And JacobH3290 went nearH5066 to IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; and he feltH4959 him, and saidH559, The voiceH6963 is Jacob’sH3290 voiceH6963, but the handsH3027 are the handsH3027 of EsauH6215. 23And he knewH5234 him not, because his handsH3027 were hairyH8163, as his brotherH251 Esau’sH6215 handsH3027: so he blessedH1288 him.
