4. Make me savoury meat thereof, as thou knowest I like, and bring it, that I may eat: and my soul may bless thee before I die.
5. And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father's commandment,
6. She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:
7. Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die.
8. Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:
9. And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:
10. Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
11. And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
12. If my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing.
13. And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.
14. He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.
15. And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:
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.
