Genesis 27:6-12 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

6. Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Listen, I heard your father talking to your brother Esau.

7. Your father said, ‘Kill an animal. Prepare some tasty food for me to eat. Then I will bless you before the Lord before I die.’

8. So obey me, my son. Do what I tell you.

9. Go out to our goats and bring me two young ones. I will prepare them just the way your father likes them.

10. Then you will take the food to your father. And he will bless you before he dies.”

11. But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “My brother Esau is a hairy man. I am smooth!

12. If my father touches me, he will know I am not Esau. Then he will not bless me. He will place a curse on me because I tried to trick him.”
