5. Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to Esau his son, and when Esau went to the field to hunt wild game to bring back,
6. Rebekah said to Jacob her son, “Look, I heard your father speaking to Esau your brother saying,
7. ‘Bring wild game to me and prepare tasty food so I can eat it and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’
8. So now, my son, listen to my voice, to what I command you.
9. Go to the flock and take two good young goats from it for me, and I will prepare them as tasty food for your father, just as he likes.
10. Then you must take it to your father and he will eat it so that he may bless you before his death.”
11. Then Jacob said to his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, but I am a smooth man.
12. Perhaps my father will feel me and I will be in his eyes as a mocker, and he will bring upon me a curse and not a blessing.”
13. Then his mother said to him, “Your curse be upon me, my son, only listen to my voice—go and get them for me.”
14. So he went and took them, and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared tasty food as his father liked.
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.”
