Jacob Steals Esau's Blessing

12 Perhaps my father will touch me and find out that I am deceiving him. That way, I will bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing. 13 But his mother said to him, “Your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.” 14 So Jacob brought the meat to his mother. And she cooked the tasty food that his father liked.
