5  And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.

6  And Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying, 7  Bring me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, before my death. 8  And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee. 9  Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves. 10  And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death. 11  And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12  My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks him, and I shall bring a curse on me, and not a blessing. 13  And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, my son! Only hearken to my voice, and go, fetch them. 14  And he went, and fetched and brought them to his mother. And his mother prepared a savoury dish such as his father loved. 15  And Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son; 16  and she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck; 17  and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
