Genesis 27:5-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

5. And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father's commandment,

6. She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:

7. Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die.

8. Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:

9. And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:

10. Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.

11. And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.

12. If my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing.
