Genesis 27:14-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

14. He went and got them and brought them to his mother. Then his mother prepared savory food such as his father loved.

15. Then Rebekah took the best clothes belonging to her older son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her youn­ger son.

16. Then she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

17. She put the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hands of her son Jacob.

18. He came 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 just as you asked me. Please arise, sit and eat of my wild game, so that your soul may bless me.”

20. Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?”And he said, “Because the Lord your God brought it to me.”

21. Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, so that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”

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

23. He did not recognize him because his hands were hairy, just like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.

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

25. He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s wild game, so that my soul may bless you.”And he brought it near to him, and he ate. He also brought him wine, and he drank.

26. His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.”

27. He came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing and blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my sonis like the smell of the fieldwhich the Lord has blessed.
