19. Jacob replied, “It’s Esau, your firstborn son. I’ve done as you told me. Here is the wild game. Now sit up and eat it so you can give me your blessing.”
20. Isaac asked, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?”“The lord your God put it in my path!” Jacob replied.
21. Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come closer so I can touch you and make sure that you really are Esau.”
22. So Jacob went closer to his father, and Isaac touched him. “The voice is Jacob’s, but the hands are Esau’s,” Isaac said.
23. But he did not recognize Jacob, because Jacob’s hands felt hairy just like Esau’s. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob.
24. “But are you really my son Esau?” he asked.“Yes, I am,” Jacob replied.
25. Then Isaac said, “Now, my son, bring me the wild game. Let me eat it, and then I will give you my blessing.” So Jacob took the food to his father, and Isaac ate it. He also drank the wine that Jacob served him.
