15. Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s good clothes, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
16. She put the skins from the young goats on his hands and on the back of his neck.
17. Then she gave her son Jacob the good-tasting meal and the bread she had prepared.
18. He went to his father and said, “Father?”“Yes?” he answered. “Who are you, Son?”
19. Jacob answered his father, “I’m Esau, your firstborn. I’ve done what you told me. Sit up and eat this meat I’ve hunted for you so that you may bless me.”
20. Isaac asked his son, “How did you find it so quickly, Son?”“The Lord your God brought it to me,” he answered.
21. Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come over here so that I can feel your skin, Son, ⌊to find out⌋ whether or not you really are my son Esau.”
22. So Jacob went over to his father. Isaac felt ⌊his skin⌋. “The voice is Jacob’s,” he said, “but the hands are Esau’s.”
23. He didn’t recognize Jacob, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
24. “Are you really my son Esau?” he asked him.“I am,” Jacob answered.
25. Isaac said, “Bring me some of the game, and I will eat it, Son, so that I will bless you.” Jacob brought it to Isaac, and he ate it. Jacob also brought him wine, and he drank it.
26. Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here and give me a kiss, Son.”
27. He went over and gave him a kiss. When Isaac smelled his clothes, he blessed him and said,“The smell of my sonis like the smell of open countrythat the Lord has blessed.
