Genesis 27:9

7 ‘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.

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.
