6. Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
7. ‘Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the Lord before my death.’
8. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
9. Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savoury food for your father, such as he loves.
10. You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11. Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12. What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”
13. His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
14. He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
15. Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
16. She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17. She gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
