Genesis 27:6-17 ▼

6 and Rebekah has spoken to her son Jacob, saying, “Behold, I have heard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying,

7 Bring game for me, and make tasteful things for me, and I eat, and bless you before YHWH before my death.

8 And now, my son, listen to my voice, to that which I am commanding you:

9 Now go to the flock, and take for me two good kids of the goats from there, and I make them tasteful things for your father, [such] as he has loved;

10 and you have taken [them] to your father, and he has eaten, so that his soul blesses you before his death.”

11 And Jacob says to his mother Rebekah, “Behold, my brother Esau [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man,

12 it may be my father feels me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought on me disapproval, and not a blessing”;

13 and his mother says to him, “On me your disapproval, my son; only listen to my voice, and go, take for me.”

14 And he goes, and takes, and brings to his mother, and his mother makes tasteful things, [such] as his father has loved;

15 and Rebekah takes the desirable garments of Esau her older son, which [are] with her in the house, and puts them on Jacob her younger son;

16 and she has put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,

17 and she gives the tasteful things, and the bread which she has made, into the hand of her son Jacob.
