New Century Version

Genesis 27:9-16 New Century Version (NCV)

9. Go out to our goats and bring me two of the best 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, and I am smooth!

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

13. So Rebekah said to him, “If your father puts a curse on you, I will accept the blame. Just do what I said. Go get the goats for me.”

14. So Jacob went out and got two goats and brought them to his mother, and she cooked them in the special way Isaac enjoyed.

15. She took the best clothes of her older son Esau that were in the house and put them on the younger son Jacob.

16. She also took the skins of the goats and put them on Jacob’s hands and neck.
