4. Then make me a delicious meal that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I can bless you before I die.”
5. Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac said to his son Esau. So while Esau went to the field to hunt some game to bring in,
6. Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father talking with your brother Esau. He said,
7. ‘Bring me the game and make a delicious meal for me to eat so that I can bless you in the Lord’s presence before I die.’
8. Now obey every order I give you, my son.
9. Go to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, and I will make them into a delicious meal for your father — the kind he loves.
10. Then take it to your father to eat so that he may bless you before he dies.”
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.
