Genesis 27:8-14 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

13. And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.

14. He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.
