Genesis 27:16-26 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

16. And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

17. Then she gave the tasty dish and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Ya‛aqoḇ.

18. And he went to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”

19. And Ya‛aqoḇ said to his father, “I am Ěsaw your first-born, I have done as you said to me. Please rise, sit and eat of my wild game, so that your being might bless me.”

20. But Yitsḥaq said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because יהוה your Elohim brought it to me.”

21. Then Yitsḥaq said to Ya‛aqoḇ, “Please come near, so that I feel you, my son, whether you truly are my son Ěsaw or not.”

22. And Ya‛aqoḇ went near to Yitsḥaq his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice is the voice of Ya‛aqoḇ, but the hands are the hands of Ěsaw.”

23. And he did not recognise him, for his hands were hairy like his brother Ěsaw’s hands, and he blessed him.

24. And he said, “Are you truly my son Ěsaw?” And he said, “I am.”

25. And he said, “Bring it near to me, and let me eat of my son’s wild game, so that my being might bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate. And he brought him wine, and he drank.

26. And his father Yitsḥaq said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
