Genesis 27:15-25 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

15. Then Rebekah took some of her older son Esau’s best garments that were with her in the house, and she put them on Jacob her younger son.

16. And she put the skins of the young goats over his hands and over the smooth part of his neck.

17. And she put the tasty food and the bread that she had made into the hand of Jacob, her son.

18. And he went to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”

19. And Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please get up, sit up and eat from my wild game so that you may bless me.”

20. Then Isaac said to his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because Yahweh your God caused me to find it.”

21. Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please, come near and let me feel you, my son. Are you really my son Esau or not?”

22. And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father. And he felt him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”

23. And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like the hands of Esau his brother. And he blessed him.

24. And he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he said, “I am.”

25. Then he said, “Bring it near to me that I may eat from the game of my son, so that I may bless you.” And he brought it to him, and he ate. And he brought wine to him, and he drank.
