Genesis 27:19-24

19Then Jacob said to his father, “I’m your firstborn, Esau. I’ve done just what you said to me. Sit up, please, and eat some of my wild game so that your soul may bless me.”

20Then Isaac said to his son, “How in the world were you able to find it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Adonai your God made it happen for me.”

21Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can feel you my son—whether or not you really are my son Esau.”

22So Jacob came closer to his father Isaac, and he felt him. Then he said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice but the hands are Esau’s hands.”

23He did not recognize him because his hands were like the hairy hands of his brother Esau. So he blessed him.

24But he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” So he said, “I am.”
