*
And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son ,
Behold ,
I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother ,
saying ,
*
Bring me venison ,
and prepare me meats ,
that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die .
*
Now then ,
my son ,
hearken to me ,
as I command thee .
*
And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids ,
tender and good ,
and I will make them meats for thy father ,
as he likes .
*
And thou shalt bring them in to thy father ,
and he shall eat ,
that thy father may bless thee before he dies .
*
And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca ,
Esau my brother is a hairy man ,
and I a smooth man .
*
Peradventure my father may feel me ,
and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned ,
and I shall bring upon me a curse ,
and not a blessing .
*
And his mother said to him ,
On me be thy curse ,
son ;
only hearken to my voice ,
and go and bring them me .
*
So he went and took and brought them to his mother ;
and his mother made meats ,
as his father liked them .
*
And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house ,
put it on Jacob her younger son .
*
And she put on his arms the skins of the kids ,
and on the bare parts of his neck .
*
And she gave the meats ,
and the loaves which she had prepared ,
into the hands of Jacob her son .
*
And he brought them to his father ,
and said ,
Father ;
and he said ,
Behold I am here ;
who art thou ,
son ?
*
And Jacob said to his father ,
I ,
Esau thy first-born ,
have done as thou toldest me ;
rise ,
sit ,
and eat of my venison ,
that thy soul may bless me .
*
And Isaac said to his son ,
What is this which thou hast quickly found ?
And he said ,
That which the Lord thy God presented before me .
*
And Isaac said to Jacob ,
Draw night to me ,
and I will feel thee ,
son ,
if thou art my son Esau or not .
*
And Jacob drew night to his father Isaac ,
and he felt him ,
and said ,
The voice is Jacob ’
s voice ,
but the hands are the hands of Esau .
*
And he knew him not ,
for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau ,
hairy ;
and he blessed him ,
*
and he said ,
Art thou my son Esau ?
and he said ,
I am .
*
And he said ,
Bring hither ,
and I will eat of thy venison ,
son ,
that my soul may bless thee ;
and he brought it near to him ,
and he ate ,
and he brought him wine ,
and he drank .
*
And Isaac his father said to him ,
Draw nigh to me ,
and kiss me ,
son .
*
And he drew nigh and kissed him ,
and smelled the smell of his garments ,
and blessed him ,
and said ,
Behold ,
the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field ,
which the Lord has blessed .
*
And may God give thee of the dew of heaven ,
and of the fatness of the earth ,
and abundance of corn and wine .
*
And let nations serve thee ,
and princes bow down to thee ,
and be thou lord of thy brother ,
and the sons of thy father shall do thee reverence ;
accursed is he that curses thee ,
and blessed is he that blesses thee .
