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.”
21. Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau or not? ”
22. So Jacob came closer to his father Isaac. When he touched him, he said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23. He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
24. Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau? ”And he replied, “I am.”
25. Then he said, “Serve me, and let me eat some of my son’s game so that I can bless you.” Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; he brought him wine, and he drank.
26. Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come closer and kiss me, my son.”
27. So he came closer and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothes, he blessed him and said:Ah, the smell of my sonis like the smell of a fieldthat the Lord has blessed.
