12. If my father touches me and realizes I am trying to trick him, he will put a curse on me instead of giving me a blessing.”
13. Rebekah insisted, “Let his curse fall on me! Just do what I say and bring me the meat.”
14. So Jacob brought the meat to his mother, and she cooked the tasty food that his father liked.
15. Then she took Esau's best clothes and put them on Jacob.
16. She also covered the smooth part of his hands and neck with goatskins
17. and gave him some bread and the tasty food she had cooked.
18. Jacob went to his father and said, “Father, here I am.”“Which one of my sons are you?” his father asked.
19. Jacob replied, “I am Esau, your firstborn, and I have done what you told me. Please sit up and eat the meat I have brought. Then you can give me your blessing.”
20. Isaac asked, “My son, how did you find an animal so quickly?”“The Lord your God was kind to me,” Jacob answered.
21. “My son,” Isaac said, “come closer, where I can touch you and find out if you really are Esau.”
22. Jacob went closer. His father touched him and said, “You sound like Jacob, but your hands feel hairy like Esau's.”
23. And so Isaac blessed Jacob, thinking he was Esau.
24. Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?”“Yes, I am,” Jacob answered.
