2. He said, “I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
3. Therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
4. And prepare for me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, so that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5. Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for wild game and bring it back,
6. Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, saying,
7. ‘Bring me wild game, and prepare for me savory food, that I may eat and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.’
8. Now therefore, my son, listen to me as I command you.
9. Go now to the flock, and get me two choice young goats, so that I may prepare from them savory food for your father, such as he loves.
10. Then you will take it to your father, so that he may eat and so that he may bless you before his death.”
11. But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a man of smooth skin.
12. Perhaps my father will feel me, and I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I will bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”
13. His mother said to him, “Let your curse be upon me, my son. Only listen to me and go get them for me.”
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.”
