10. I want you to take it to your father to eat. Then he'll give you his blessing before he dies."
11. Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, "My brother Esau's body is covered with hair. But my skin is smooth.
12. What if my father touches me? He would know I was trying to trick him. That would bring a curse down on me instead of a blessing."
13. His mother said to him, "My son, let the curse fall on me. Just do what I say. Go and get the goats for me."
14. So he went and got the goats. He brought them to his mother. And she prepared some tasty food. She made it just the way his father liked it.
15. The clothes of her older son Esau were in her house. She took the best of them and put them on her younger son Jacob.
16. She covered his hands with the skins of the goats. She also covered the smooth part of his neck with them.
17. Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.
18. He went to his father and said, "My father." "Yes, my son," Isaac answered. "Who is it?"
19. Jacob said to his father, "I'm your oldest son Esau. I've done as you told me. Please sit up. Eat some of my wild meat. Then give me your blessing."
20. Isaac asked his son, "How did you find it so quickly, my son?" "The Lord your God gave me success," he replied.
21. Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Come near so I can touch you, my son. I want to know whether you really are my son Esau."
22. Jacob went close to his father. Isaac touched him and said, "The voice is the voice of Jacob. But the hands are the hands of Esau."
23. Isaac didn't recognize him. His hands were covered with hair like those of his brother Esau. So Isaac blessed him.
24. "Are you really my son Esau?" he asked. "I am," Jacob replied.
25. Isaac said, "My son, bring me some of your wild meat to eat. Then I'll give you my blessing." Jacob brought it to him. So Isaac ate. Jacob also brought some wine. And Isaac drank.
26. Then Jacob's father Isaac said to him, "Come here, my son. Kiss me."
