Genesis 27:16-25 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

18. Jacob went to his father and said, "My father."And he said, "I’m here. Who are you, my son?"

19. Jacob said to his father, "I’m Esau your oldest son. I’ve made what you asked me to. Sit up and eat some of the game so you can bless me."

20. Isaac said to his son, "How could you find this so quickly, my son?"He said, "The Lord your God led me right to it."

21. Isaac said to Jacob, "Come here and let me touch you, my son. Are you my son Esau or not?"

22. So Jacob approached his father Isaac, and Isaac touched him and said, "The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the arms are Esau’s arms."

23. Isaac didn’t recognize him because his arms were hairy like Esau’s arms, so he blessed him.

24. Isaac said, "Are you really my son Esau?"And he said, "I am."

25. Isaac said, "Bring some food here and let me eat some of my son’s game so I can bless you." Jacob put it before him and he ate, and he brought him wine and he drank.
