New Testament

Genesis 27:12-20 New Century Version (NCV)

12. If my father touches me, he will know I am not Esau. Then he will not bless me but will place a curse on me because I tried to trick him.”

13. So Rebekah said to him, “If your father puts a curse on you, I will accept the blame. Just do what I said. Go get the goats for me.”

14. So Jacob went out and got two goats and brought them to his mother, and she cooked them in the special way Isaac enjoyed.

15. She took the best clothes of her older son Esau that were in the house and put them on the younger son Jacob.

16. She also took the skins of the goats and put them on Jacob’s hands and neck.

17. Then she gave Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.

18. Jacob went in to his father and said, “Father.”And his father said, “Yes, my son. Who are you?”

19. Jacob said to him, “I am Esau, your first son. I have done what you told me. Now sit up and eat some meat of the animal I hunted for you. Then bless me.”

20. But Isaac asked his son, “How did you find and kill the animal so quickly?”Jacob answered, “Because the Lord your God helped me to find it.”
