Genesis 27:8-13 ▼

8 So now, my son, listen [carefully] to me [and do exactly] as I command you.

9 Go now to the flock and bring me two good and suitable young goats, and I will make them into a savory dish [of meat] for your father, the kind he loves [to eat].

10 Then you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”

11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Listen, Esau my brother is a hairy man and I am a smooth [skinned] man.

12 Suppose my father touches me and feels my skin; then I will be seen by him as a cheat (imposter), and I will bring his curse on me and not a blessing.”

13 But his mother said to him, “May your curse be on me, my son; only listen and obey me, and go, bring the young goats to me.”
