6. She said to her son Jacob, “Listen, I heard your father saying to your brother Esau,
7. ‘Kill an animal and prepare some tasty food for me to eat. Then I will bless you in the presence of the Lord before I die.’
8. So obey me, my son, and do what I tell you.
9. Go out to our goats and bring me two of the best young ones. I will prepare them just the way your father likes them.
10. Then you will take the food to your father, and he will bless you before he dies.”
11. But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “My brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth!
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.
