And she gave the delicious things and the bread which she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.

And he came to his father and said, My father! And he said, Here I am; who are you, my son?

And Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah your God brought it to me.

And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray you, so that I may feel you, my son, whether you are truly my son Esau or not.

And he said, Are you truly my son Esau? And he said, I am.

And he said, Bring it to me, and I will eat of my son's game, so that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near to him, and he ate. And he brought him wine, and he drank.

And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now and kiss me, my son.

And his father Isaac said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your first-born, Esau.

And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold! I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given him for servants. And with grain and wine I have supported him. And what shall I do now to you, my son?

And he came on a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took of the stones of that place, and placed them at his head. And he lay down in that place to sleep.

And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father.

And it happened when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
