18. Going to his father, Jacob said, “Father!” “Yes?” replied Isaac. “Which of my sons are you?”
19. Jacob answered his father: “I am Esau, your firstborn. I did as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”
20. But Isaac said to his son, “How did you get it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “The Lord, your God, directed me.”
21. Isaac then said to Jacob, “Come closer, my son, that I may feel you, to learn whether you really are my son Esau or not.”
22. So Jacob moved up closer to his father. When Isaac felt him, he said, “Although the voice is Jacob’s, the hands are Esau’s.”
23. (He failed to identify him because his hands were hairy, like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.)
24. Again Isaac said, “Are you really my son Esau?” And Jacob said, “I am.”
25. Then Isaac said, “Serve me, my son, and let me eat of the game so that I may bless you.” Jacob served it to him, and Isaac ate; he brought him wine, and he drank.
