Genesis 27:12-22 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. Perhaps my father will feel me and I will be in his eyes as a mocker, and he will bring upon me a curse and not a blessing.”

13. Then his mother said to him, “Your curse be upon me, my son, only listen to my voice—go and get them for me.”

14. So he went and took them, and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared tasty food as his father liked.

15. Then Rebekah took some of her older son Esau’s best garments that were with her in the house, and she put them on Jacob her younger son.

16. And she put the skins of the young goats over his hands and over the smooth part of his neck.

17. And she put the tasty food and the bread that she had made into the hand of Jacob, her son.

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

19. And Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please get up, sit up and eat from my wild game so that you may bless me.”

20. Then Isaac said to his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because Yahweh your God caused me to find it.”

21. Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please, come near and let me feel you, my son. Are you really my son Esau or not?”

22. And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father. And he felt him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
