19 Jacob answered his father, |I'm Esau, your firstborn. I've done what you told me. Sit up and eat this meat I've hunted for you so that you may bless me.| 20 Isaac asked his son, |How did you find it so quickly, Son?| |The LORD your God brought it to me,| he answered. 21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, |Come over here so that I can feel your skin, Son, [to find out] whether or not you really are my son Esau.| 22 So Jacob went over to his father. Isaac felt [his skin]. |The voice is Jacob's,| he said, |but the hands are Esau's.| 23 He didn't recognize Jacob, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him. 24 |Are you really my son Esau?| he asked him. |I am,| Jacob answered. 25 Isaac said, |Bring me some of the game, and I will eat it, Son, so that I will bless you.| Jacob brought it to Isaac, and he ate it. Jacob also brought him wine, and he drank it. Genesis 27:19-25, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
