27:5 Now Rebekah had been listening while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. 7 When Esau went out to the open fields to hunt down some wild game and bring it back, 8 27:6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father tell your brother Esau, 27:7 ‘Bring me some wild game and prepare for me some tasty food. Then I will eat 9 it and bless you 10 in the presence of the Lord 11 before I die.’ 27:8 Now then, my son, do 12 exactly what I tell you! 13 27:9 Go to the flock and get me two of the best young goats. I’ll prepare 14 them in a tasty way for your father, just the way he loves them. 27:10 Then you will take 15 it to your father. Thus he will eat it 16 and 17 bless you before he dies.”
27:11 “But Esau my brother is a hairy man,” Jacob protested to his mother Rebekah, “and I have smooth skin! 18 27:12 My father may touch me! Then he’ll think I’m mocking him 19 and I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.” 27:13 So his mother told him, “Any curse against you will fall on me, 20 my son! Just obey me! 21 Go and get them for me!”
