15
Then Rebekah took the choice clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.
16
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17
Then she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18
So he went to his father and said, "My father." And he said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"
19
Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn; I have done just as you told me; please arise, sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me."
20
But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" And he said, "Because the Lord your God brought it to me."
21
Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."
22
So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."
23
And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.
24
Then he said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He said, "I am."
25
He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's game, so that my soul may bless you." So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26
Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near now and kiss me, my son."
27
And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said: "Surely, the smell of my son Is like the smell of a field Which the Lord has blessed.
28
Therefore may God give you Of the dew of heaven, Of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of grain and wine.
29
Let peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you. Be master over your brethren, And let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, And blessed be those who bless you!"
30
Now it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31
He also had made savory food, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, "Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that your soul may bless me."
32
And his father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" So he said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."
33
Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, "Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him--and indeed he shall be blessed."
34
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me--me also, O my father!"
35
But he said, "Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing."
