Genesis 27:15-24

New International Version

¹⁵ Then Rebekah took the best clothes^(A) of Esau her older son,^(B) which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob. ¹⁶ She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.^{(C) 17} Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.

¹⁸ He went to his father and said, “My father.”

“Yes, my son,” he answered. “Who is it?”^(D)

¹⁹ Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn.^(E) I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game,^(F) so that you may give me your blessing.”^(G)

²⁰ Isaac asked his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?”

“The Lord your God gave me success,^(H)” he replied.

²¹ Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near so I can touch you,^(I) my son, to know whether you really are my son Esau or not.”

²² Jacob went close to his father Isaac,^(J) who touched^(K) him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” ²³ He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau;^(L) so he proceeded to bless him. ²⁴ “Are you really my son Esau?” he asked.

“I am,” he replied.
