27:6¶ And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,

27:7Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.

27:8Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.

27:9Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:

27:10And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.

27:11And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:

27:12My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.

27:13And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.

27:14And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.

27:15And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:

27:16And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:

27:17And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

27:29Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
