19 |I'm Esau, your firstborn!| Jacob told his father. |I've done what you asked, so please sit up and eat what I caught, so you can bless me.| 20 |How did you get it so quickly, my son?| Isaac asked. Jacob responded, |...because the LORD your God made me successful.| 21 So Isaac told Jacob, |Come here, my son, so I can feel you and know for sure whether or not you're my son Esau.| 22 So Jacob approached his father, who felt him and said, |It's Jacob's voice, but Esau's hands.| 23 He didn't recognize Jacob, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau, so Isaac blessed him. 24 He asked, |Are you really my son Esau?| |I am,| Jacob replied. 25 |Come closer to me,| Isaac replied, |so I can eat some of the game, my son, and then bless you.| So Jacob came closer, and Isaac ate. Jacob also brought wine so his father could drink. Genesis 27:19-25, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
