Genesis 27:18-29 ▼

18 And he comes to his father and says, “My father”; and he says, “Here I [am]; who [are] you, my son?”

19 And Jacob says to his father, “I [am] Esau your firstborn; I have done as you have spoken to me; please rise, sit and eat of my game, so that your soul blesses me.”

20 And Isaac says to his son, “What [is] this you have hurried to find, my son?” And he says, “That which your God YHWH has caused to come before me.”

21 And Isaac says to Jacob, “Please come near, and I feel you, my son, whether you [are] he, my son Esau, or not.”

22 And Jacob comes near to his father Isaac, and he feels him, and says, “The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.”

23 And he has not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of his brother Esau, and he blesses him,

24 and says, “You are he—my son Esau?” And he says, “I [am].”

25 And he says, “Bring [it] near to me, and I eat of my son’s game, so that my soul blesses you”; and he brings [it] near to him, and he eats; and he brings wine to him, and he drinks.

26 And his father Isaac says to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son”;

27 and he comes near, and kisses him, and he smells the fragrance of his garments, and blesses him, and says, “See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which YHWH has blessed;

28 and God gives to you of the dew of the heavens, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain and wine;

29 peoples serve you, and nations bow themselves to you, be mighty over your brothers, and the sons of your mother bow themselves to you; those who curse you [are] cursed, and those who bless you [are] blessed.”
