And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his
mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved. And Rebekah took
goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the
house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son: and she put the skins
of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his
neck: and she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had
prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
[Sidenote: Genesis 27]
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here
am I; who art thou, my son? And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau
thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray
thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac
said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my
son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me. And Isaac
said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son,
whether thou be my very son Esau or not. And Jacob went near unto Isaac
his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but
the hands are the hands of Esau. And he discerned him not, because his
hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him. And
he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. And he said,
Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul
may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he
brought him wine, and he drank. And his father Isaac said unto him,
Come near now, and kiss me, my son. And he came near, and kissed him:
and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said,
See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath
blessed: therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness
of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: let people serve thee,
and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy
mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee,
and blessed be he that blesseth thee. And it came to pass, as soon as
Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone
out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came
in from his hunting.
