Genesis 27:18–30

¹⁸And he came to his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I: who art thou, my son? ¹⁹And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou didst say to me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, in order that thy soul may bless me. ²⁰And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God put it in my way. ²¹And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be really my son Esau or not. ²²And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. ²³And he did not discern him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands; and he blessed him. ²⁴And he said, Art thou really my son Esau? And he said, It is I. ²⁵And he said, Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son’s venison, in order that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. ²⁶And his father Isaac said to him, Come near, now, and kiss me, my son. ²⁷And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelt the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed. ²⁸And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and new wine. ²⁹Let peoples serve thee, And races bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, And let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee. Cursed be they that curse thee, And blessed be they that bless thee.

³⁰And it came to pass when Isaac had ended blessing Jacob, and when Jacob was only just gone out from Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from his hunting.
