Genesis 27:12

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.

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.”

¹⁴ So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
