18 He went to his father and said, |My father!| Isaac replied, |Here I am. Which are you, my son?|

19 Jacob said to his father, |I am Esau, your firstborn. I've done as you told me. Now sit up and eat some of my wild game so that you can bless me.|

20 But Isaac asked his son, |How in the world did you find it so quickly, my son?| |Because the LORD your God brought it to me,| he replied.

21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, |Come closer so I can touch you, my son, and know for certain if you really are my son Esau.|

22 So Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, |The voice is Jacob's, but the hands are Esau's.|

23 He did not recognize him because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's hands. So Isaac blessed Jacob.

24 Then he asked, |Are you really my son Esau?| |I am,| Jacob replied.
