Genesis 27:19-24

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done everything you ordered. Please get up, sit down, and eat the game so that you may bless me.”

²⁰ Isaac said to his son, “How did you prepare it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “The Lord placed the game right in front of me.”

²¹ Then Isaac said, “Draw near and let me touch you, my son, so that I may know if you are really my son Esau or not.”

²² Jacob drew near, and Isaac, his father, touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the arms are the arms of Esau.” ²³ He did not recognize him, because his arms were hairy like the arms of his brother Esau, and he blessed him. ²⁴ Then he said to him one more time, “Are you really my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
