11. But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I’m a smooth man.
12. Perhaps my father will touch me, and he’ll take me for a mocker, and I’ll bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.”
13. Then his mother said to him, “Let your curse fall on me, my son. Just listen to me, and go, get them for me.”
14. So he went and got them, and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared a delicious meal that his father would love.
15. Rebekah also took her elder son Esau’s favorite clothes that were with her in the house, and she put them on her younger son Jacob,
16. along with the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the hairless part of his neck.
17. She put the delicious meal and the bread that she had prepared in the hand of Jacob her son.
18. Then he came to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “I’m here. Who are you, my son?”
19. Then Jacob said to his father, “I’m your firstborn, Esau. I’ve done just what you said to me. Sit up, please, and eat some of my wild game so that your soul may bless me.”
20. Then Isaac said to his son, “How in the world were you able to find it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Adonai your God made it happen for me.”
21. Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can feel you my son—whether or not you really are my son Esau.”
22. So Jacob came closer to his father Isaac, and he felt him. Then he said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice but the hands are Esau’s hands.”
23. He did not recognize him because his hands were like the hairy hands of his brother Esau. So he blessed him.
24. But he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” So he said, “I am.”
25. Then he said, “Bring it to me and I’ll eat some of my son’s wild game, so that my soul may bless you.” So he brought it to him and he ate, and he brought him wine and he drank.
26. Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come closer and kiss me my son.”
27. So he came closer and kissed him. When he smelled the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Adonai has blessed.
28. May God give you— from the dew of the sky and from the fatness of the land— an abundance of grain and new wine.
