Genesis 27:6-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son and said, “Listen, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother and tell him, ⁷ ‘Bring me some wild game and make tasty food for me, that I may eat and give you a blessing from the Lord before my death.’ ⁸ Therefore, my son, obey my voice and do what I am commanding you. ⁹ Go now to the flock, and get me two of the best young goats. I will make them into tasty food for your father, the kind he loves. ¹⁰ You will bring it to your father, so that he can eat it and bless you before his death.”

¹¹ Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “But Esau my brother is a hairy man, and my skin is smooth. ¹² What if my father touches me? I will be exposed to him as a deceiver, and I will bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”
