11. Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, ‘But my brother Esau is a hairy man while I have smooth skin.
12. What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing.’
13. His mother said to him, ‘My son, let the curse fall on me. Just do what I say; go and get them for me.’
14. So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.
15. Then Rebekah took the best clothes of her elder son Esau, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
16. She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.
