15Then Rebekah took the best garments of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob; 16and she put the skins of the kids on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. 17Then she handed the savoury food, and the bread that she had prepared, to her son Jacob.
18 So he went in to his father, and said, My father; and he said, Here I am; who are you, my son?
19Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, so that you may bless me.
20But Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? He answered, Because the Lord your God granted me success.
21Then Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not.
22So Jacob went up to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, The voice is Jacobs voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esaus hands; so he blessed him.
24He said, Are you really my son Esau? He answered, I am.
25Then he said, Bring it to me, that I may eat of my sons game and bless you. So he brought it to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26Then his father Isaac said to him, Come near and kiss me, my son.
27So he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said,
Ah, the smell of my son
is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed.
28 May God give you of the dew of heaven,
and of the fatness of the earth,
and plenty of grain and wine.
29 Let peoples serve you,
and nations bow down to you.
Be lord over your brothers,
and may your mothers sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you,
and blessed be everyone who blesses you!
