27:3
Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
27:4
Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
27:5
Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,
27:6
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
27:7
‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
27:8
Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
27:9
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
27:10
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
27:11
Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
27:12
What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
27:13
His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
