Genesis 27:8-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. Rebekah continued, "My son, listen carefully. Do what I tell you.

9. Go out to the flock. Bring me two of the finest young goats. I will prepare tasty food for your father. I'll make it just the way he likes it.

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."
