Genesis 27:11-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

11. Jacob answered Rebekah his mother, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am a man with smooth skin.

12. Suppose my father touches me. Then I will be revealed to him as a deceiver and bring a curse rather than a blessing on myself.”

13. His mother said to him, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey me and go get them for me.”

14. So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother, and his mother made the delicious food his father loved.

15. Then Rebekah took the best clothes of her older son Esau, which were in the house, and had her younger son Jacob wear them.

16. She put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.

17. Then she handed the delicious food and the bread she had made to her son Jacob.

18. When he came to his father, he said, “My father.”And he answered, “Here I am. Who are you, my son? ”

19. Jacob replied to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game so that you may bless me.”

20. But Isaac said to his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son? ”He replied, “Because the Lord your God worked it out for me.”
