Genesis 27:10-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. You can bring it to your father, he will eat, and then he will bless you before he dies."

11. Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, "My brother Esau is a hairy man, but I have smooth skin.

12. What if my father touches me and thinks I’m making fun of him? I will be cursed instead of blessed."

13. His mother said to him, "Your curse will be on me, my son. Just listen to me: go and get them for me."

14. So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made the delicious food that his father loved.

15. Rebekah took her older son Esau’s favorite clothes that were in the house with her, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.

16. On his arms and smooth neck she put the hide of young goats,

17. and the delicious food and the bread she had made she put into her son’s hands.
