Genesis 27:6-17
27:6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father tell your brother Esau,
27:7 ‘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.’
27:8 Now then, my son, do
exactly what I tell you!
27:9 Go 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.
27:10 Then you will take
it to your father. Thus he will eat it
and
bless you before he dies.”
27:11 “But Esau my brother is a hairy man,” Jacob protested to his mother Rebekah, “and I have smooth skin!
27:12 My father may touch me! Then he’ll think I’m mocking him and I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.”
27:13 So his mother told him, “Any curse against you will fall on me, my son! Just obey me! Go and get them for me!”
27:14 So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother. She prepared some tasty food, just the way his father loved it.
27:15 Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s best clothes, which she had with her in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
27:16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
27:17 Then she handed the tasty food and the bread she had made to her son Jacob.
