15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son: |
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: |
17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. |
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? |
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. |
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me. |
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. |
22 And Jacob went near unto 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 discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him. |
24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. |
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank. |
26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. |
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed: |
28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: |
29 Let 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. |
