God's Word Translation

Genesis 27:10-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

10. Then take it to your father to eat so that he will bless you before he dies.”

11. Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “My brother Esau is a hairy man, and my skin is smooth.

12. My father will feel ⌊my skin⌋ and think I’m mocking him. Then I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.”

13. His mother responded, “Let any curse on you fall on me, Son. Just obey me and go! Get me ⌊the young goats⌋.”

14. He went and got them and brought them to his mother. She prepared a good-tasting meal, just the way his father liked it.

15. Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s good clothes, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
