Genesis 27:15

EsauIsraelRebekah

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.

And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.

16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

17 Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
