Bereshis 27:7-24 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. Bring me wild game, and make me matamim, that I may eat, and make a berakhah upon thee before Hashem before my mot.

8. Now therefore, beni (my son), obey my kol (voice) according to that which I command thee.

9. Go now to the tzon, and bring me from there two gedayei izzim tovim (good kids of goats); and I will make them matamim for avicha, such as he loveth:

10. And thou shalt bring it to avicha, that he may eat, and that he may make a berakhah upon thee before his mot.

11. And Ya'akov said to Rivkah immo, Look, Esav achi is an ish sa'ir (hairy man), and I am an ish chalak (smooth man)

12. What if avi will touch me, and I shall seem to him as a meta'te'a (mocker); and I shall bring a kelalah upon me, and not a berakhah.

13. And immo said unto him, Upon me be thy kelalah, beni; only obey my kol (voice), and go bring me them.

14. And he went, and got, and brought them to immo: and immo made matamim, such as aviv loved.

15. And Rivkah took begadim of Esav her ben hagadol, the chamudot (best ones) which were with her in the bais, and dressed Ya'akov her ben hakatan;

16. And with orot gedayei haizzim (skins of the kids of the goats) she dressed and covered his hands, and also upon the smooth of his tzavar (neck);

17. And she gave the matamim and the lechem, which she had prepared, into the yad Ya'akov her ben.

18. And he came unto aviv, and said, Avi; and he said, Hineni; who art thou, beni?

19. And Ya'akov said unto aviv, I am Esav thy bechor; I have done according as thou told me; arise, now, sit up and eat of my wild game, that thy nefesh may make a berakhah upon me.

20. And Yitzchak said unto bno, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, beni? And he said, Hashem Eloheicha worked it out for me.

21. And Yitzchak said unto Ya'akov, Come near, now, that I may touch thee, beni, indeed, whether thou be beni Esav or not.

22. And Ya'akov went near unto Yitzchak aviv; and he touched him, and said, The kol is kol Ya'akov, but the yadayim are the yedei Esav.

23. And he discerned him not, for his hands were se'irot, as yedei Esav achiv; so he made a berakhah upon him

24. And he said, Art thou indeed beni Esav? And he said, I am.
