16. And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.

17. And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.

18. Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?

19. And Jacob said: I am Esau thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.

20. And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son?

21. And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.

22. He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob; but the hands are the hands of Esau.

23. And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made like to the elder. Then blessing him,

24. He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.

25. Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk,

26. He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.

27. He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which Lord hath blessed.

28. God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.
