Genesis 27:6-17

1599 Geneva Bible

⁶ ¶ Then Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I have heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, saying,

⁷ Bring me venison, and make me savory meat, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord, afore my death.

⁸ Now therefore, my son, hear my voice in that which I command thee.

^9 [a]Get thee now to the flock, and bring me thence two good kids of the goats, that I may make pleasant meat of them for thy father, such as he loveth.

¹⁰ Then thou shalt bring it to thy father, and he shall eat, to the intent that he may bless thee before his death.

¹¹ But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is rough, and I am smooth.

¹² My father may possibly feel me, and I shall seem ^[b]to him as a ^[c]mocker: so shall I bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.

¹³ But his mother said unto him, ^[d][e]Upon me be thy curse, my son: only hear my voice, and go and bring me them.

¹⁴ So he went and set them, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made pleasant meat, such as his father loved.

¹⁵ And Rebekah took fair clothes of her elder son Esau, which were in her house, and clothed Jacob her younger son:

¹⁶ And she covered his hands and the smooth of his neck with the skins of the kids of the goats.

¹⁷ Afterward she put the pleasant meat and bread, which she had prepared, in the hand of her son Jacob.
