my father will feel of me; then I shall appear to him as a
deceiver, and I shall bring blame upon me and not a blessing." But his
mother said to him, "Upon me be the blame, my son; only obey me and go,
bring the kids to me." So he went and brought them to his mother, and
his mother made savory food such as his father loved.

Rebekah also took the fine clothes of her older son Esau, which she had
with her in the tent, and put them on her younger son Jacob. Then she
put the skins of the kids upon his hands and upon the smooth part of his
neck, and she placed the savory food and the bread which she had
prepared in his hand, and he went to his father and said, "My father."
Isaac answered, "Here am I; who are you, my son?" Jacob said, "I am Esau
your oldest son. I have done as you commanded me. Sit up and eat of my

As soon as Isaac had given Jacob his blessing, and Jacob was about to
leave his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. He also had
made savory food and was bringing it to his father. So he said to him,
"Father, rise and eat of your son's game, that you may bless me." But
Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am your
son, your oldest, Esau." Then Isaac trembled and said, "Who then is he
that has hunted game and brought it to me, so that I ate plentifully
before you came, and blessed him? Also blessed shall he be!"

When Esau heard the words of his father, he uttered a loud and bitter

But Isaac said, "Your brother c
