Genesis 27 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

6 she said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:

7 Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of our Lord before I die.

8 Now therefore, my son, assent to my counsel:

9 and go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:

10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.

11 To whom he answered: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is hairy man, and I am smooth:

12 if my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have deluded him, and I shall bring upon me a curse for a blessing.

13 To whom his mother said: This curse, my son, light upon me, only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.
