Genesis 27:6-17

Legacy Standard Bible

^6 (A)But Rebekah spoke to her son Jacob, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying, ⁷ ‘Bring me some game and prepare a savory dish for me, that I may eat and bless you in the presence of Yahweh before my death.’ ⁸ So now, my son, ^(B)listen to my voice ^[a]as I command you. ⁹ Go now to the flock and ^[b]get for me two choice ^[c]young goats from there, that I may prepare them as a savory dish for your father, such as he loves. ¹⁰ Then you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.” ¹¹ Then Jacob ^[d]answered his mother Rebekah, “Behold, Esau my brother is a ^(C)hairy man, and I am a smooth man. ^12 (D)Perhaps my father will feel me, then I will be as a mocker in his sight, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.” ¹³ But his mother said to him, “Your curse be on me, my son; only ^(E)listen to my voice, and go, get them for me.” ¹⁴ So he went and got them and brought them to his mother; and his mother made a savory dish such as his father loved. ¹⁵ Then Rebekah took the ^[e]best ^(F)garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and she put them on Jacob her younger son. ¹⁶ And she put the skins of the ^[f]young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. ¹⁷ She also gave the savory dish and the bread, which she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
