Genesis 27:20-28 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

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.

25. So Isaac told him, “Serve me the wild meat, and I can give you my blessing.”Jacob gave him some meat, and he ate it. He also gave him some wine, and he drank it.

26. Then Isaac said, “Son, come over here and kiss me.”

27. While Jacob was kissing him, Isaac caught the smell of his clothes and said:“The smell of my sonis like a fieldthe Lord has blessed.

28. God will bless you, my son,with dew from heavenand with fertile fields,rich with grain and grapes.
