Genesis 27:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.

10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”

11 Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.

12 What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”

13 His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
