Genesis 27:12

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.”

14 And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother ^amade savory food, such as his father loved.

15 Then Rebekah took the ^achoice clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

Genesis 27:12

I shall bring a curse upon me - For even in those early times the spirit of that law was understood, Deuteronomy 27:18 : Cursed is he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way; and Jacob seems to have possessed at this time a more tender conscience than his mother.
