Genesis 27:11-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

11. Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, "Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man and I am a smooth man.

12. Perhaps my father will feel me, then I will be as a deceiver in his sight, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing."

13. But his mother said to him, "Your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me."

14. So he went and got them, and brought them to his mother; and his mother made savory food such as his father loved.

15. Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

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

17. She also gave the savory food and the bread, which she had made, to her son Jacob.

18. Then he came to his father and said, "My father." And he said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"

19. Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you told me. Get up, please, sit and eat of my game, that you may bless me."

20. Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have it so quickly, my son?" And he said, "Because the Lord your God caused it to happen to me."

21. Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come close, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."
