Genesis 27:9-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. and go straight to the flock, and bring me two of the best young goats, so that from them I may make meat for your father, such as he willingly eats.

10. Then, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, he may bless you before he dies."

11. He answered her: "You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth.

12. If my father should lay hands on me and perceive it, I am afraid lest he think me willing to mock him, and I will bring a curse upon myself, instead of a blessing."

13. And his mother said to him: "Let this curse be upon me, my son. Yet listen to my voice, and go directly to bring what I said."

14. He went out, and he brought, and he gave to his mother. She prepared the meats, just as she knew his father liked.

15. And she clothed him with the very fine garments of Esau, which she had at home with her.

16. And she encircled his hands with little pelts from the young goats, and she covered his bare neck.

17. And she gave him the small meal, and she handed him the bread that she had baked.
