Genesis 27:6-17

« Gen 26Gen 27Gen 28 »

6 ^aBut 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, ^alisten to my voice ¹as I command you. 9 Go now to the flock and ¹get for me two choice ²young 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 ¹answered his mother Rebekah, “Behold, Esau my brother is a ^ahairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12 ^aPerhaps 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 ^alisten 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 ¹best ^agarments 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 ¹young 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.
