And Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, But Esau my brother is covered with hair, while I am smooth:

If by chance my father puts his hand on me, it will seem to him that I am tricking him, and he will put a curse on me in place of a blessing.

And Rebekah took the fair robes of her oldest son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son:

And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I: who are you, my son?

And you will take it to him, so that he may have a good meal and give you his blessing before his death.

And Isaac said, How is it that you have got it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God made it come my way.

And Isaac said, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my son Esau or not.

And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck:

And she gave into the hand of Jacob, her son, the meat and the bread which she had made ready.

And his mother said, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get them for me.

So he went and got them and took them to his mother: and she made a meal to his father's taste.

And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you.

And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her.

And that day Isaac's servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water.

Because Abraham gave ear to my voice and kept my words, my rules, my orders, and my laws.

Then came a time of great need in the land, like that which had been before in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.

And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge:

And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.

Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole.

And Isaac and Rebekah had grief of mind because of them.

Then he made a feast for them, and they all had food and drink.

Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.

Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord before my death.

But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.

And Rebekah said to Jacob, her son, Your father said to your brother Esau in my hearing,

And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.

Genesis 27

And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful.
