* And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son , saying , Behold , I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother , saying , * Bring venison for me , and make savory food for me , that I may eat , and bless thee before LORD before my death . * Now therefore , my son , obey my voice according to that which I command thee . * Go now to the flock , and fetch me two good kids of the goats from there . And I will make them savory food for thy father , such as he loves . * And thou shall bring it to thy father , that he may eat , so that he may bless thee before his death . * And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother , Behold , Esau my brother is a hairy man , and I am a smooth man . * My father will perhaps feel me , and I shall seem to him as a deceiver . And I shall bring a curse upon me , and not a blessing . * And his mother said to him , Upon me be thy curse , my son . Only obey my voice , and go fetch them for me . * And he went , and fetched , and brought them to his mother . And his mother made savory food , such as his father loved . * And Rebekah took the goodly garments of Esau her elder son , which were with her in the house , and put them upon Jacob her younger son . * And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands , and upon the smooth of his neck . * And she gave the savory food and the bread , which she had prepared , into the hand of her son Jacob . * And he came to his father , and said , My father . And he said , Here I am . Who are thou , my son ? * And Jacob said to his father , I am Esau thy firstborn . I have done according as thou bade me . Arise , I pray thee , sit and eat of my venison , that thy soul may bless me . * And Isaac said to his son , How is it that thou have found it so quickly , my son ? And he said , Because LORD thy God sent me good speed . * And Isaac said to Jacob , Come near , I pray thee , that I may feel thee , my son , whether thou be my very son Esau or not . * And Jacob went near to Isaac his father . And he felt him , and said , The voice is Jacob 's voice , but the hands are the hands of Esau . * And he did not discern him , because his hands were hairy as his brother Esau 's hands . So he blessed him . * And he said , Are thou my very son Esau ? And he said , I am . * And he said , Bring it near to me , and I will eat of my son 's venison , that my soul may bless thee . And he brought it near to him , and he ate . And he brought wine to him , and he drank . * And his father Isaac said to him , Come near now , and kiss me , my son . * And he came near , and kissed him . And he smelled the smell of his raiment , and blessed him , and said , See , the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that LORD has blessed . * And God give thee of the dew of heaven , and of the fatness of the earth , and plenty of grain and new wine . * Let peoples serve thee , and nations bow down to thee . Be lord over thy brothers , and let thy mother 's sons bow down to thee . Cursed be he who curses thee , and blessed be he who blesses thee .
