Genesis 27:13-25 Amplified Bible (AMP)

13. But his mother said to him, On me be your curse, my son; only obey my word and go, fetch them to me.

14. So [Jacob] went, got [the kids], and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared appetizing meat with a delightful odor, such as his father loved.

15. Then Rebekah took her elder son Esau's best clothes which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

16. And she put the skins of the kids on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

17. And she gave the savory meat and the bread which she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.

18. So he went to his father and said, My father. And he said, Here am I; who are you, my son?

19. And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn; I have done what you told me to do. Now sit up and eat of my game, so that you may proceed to bless me.

20. And Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found the game so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God caused it to come to me.

21. But Isaac said to Jacob, Come close to me, I beg of you, that I may feel you, my son, and know whether you really are my son Esau or not.

22. So Jacob went near to Isaac, and his father felt him and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

23. He could not identify him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.

24. But he said, Are you really my son Esau? He answered, I am.

25. Then [Isaac] said, Bring it to me and I will eat of my son's game, that I may bless you. He brought it to him and he ate; and he brought him wine and he drank.
