Genesis 27:7

5 Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,

6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,

‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’

8 Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.

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.
