6 So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
7 ‘Bring me game and make1 savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.’
8 Now therefore, my son, aobey my voice according to what I command you.
9 Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make asavory food from them for your father, such as he loves.
10 Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he amay bless you before his death.”
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, aEsau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man.
12 Perhaps my father will afeel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring ba curse on myself and not a blessing.”
13 But his mother said to him, a“Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.”
