Genesis 27:10-12
The Message
8-10 “Now, my son, listen to me. Do what I tell you. Go to the flock and get me two young goats. Pick the best; I’ll prepare them into a hearty meal, the kind that your father loves. Then you’ll take it to your father, he’ll eat and bless you before he dies.”
11-12 “But Mother,” Jacob said, “my brother Esau is a hairy man and I have smooth skin. What happens if my father touches me? He’ll think I’m playing games with him. I’ll bring down a curse on myself instead of a blessing.”

New International Version
10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing(A) before he dies.”
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man(B) while I have smooth skin. 12 What if my father touches me?(C) I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse(D) on myself rather than a blessing.”
