Rebekah said to Jacob her son, "Look, I heard your father speaking to Esau your brother saying,

So now, my son, listen to my voice, to what I command you.

Then his mother said to him, "Your curse be upon me, my son, only listen to my voice--go and get [them] for me."

Then Rebekah took [some of] her older son Esau's best garments that [were] with her in the house, and she put [them] on Jacob her younger son.

And she put the tasty food and the bread that she had made into the hand of Jacob, her son.

And he went to his father and said, "My father." And he said, "Here I [am]. Who [are] you, my son?"

Then Isaac said to his son, "{How} did you find [it] so quickly, my son?" And he said, "Because Yahweh your God {caused me to find it}."

Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Please, come near and let me feel you, my son. {Are you really} my son Esau or not?"

And he said, "{Are you really} my son Esau?" And he said, "I [am]."

Then he said, "Bring [it] near to me that I may eat from the game of my son, so that I may bless you." And he brought [it] to him, and he ate. And he brought wine to him, and he drank.

Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near and kiss me, my son."

And he drew near and kissed him. And he smelled the smell of his garments, and he blessed him and said, "Look, the smell of my son [is] like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed!

Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you; Be lord of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. Cursed be those cursing you, and blessed be those blessing you."

He too prepared tasty food and brought [it] to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father arise and eat from the wild game of his son, that you may bless me."

And Isaac his father said to him, "Who [are] you?" And he said, "I [am] your son, your firstborn, Esau."

Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, "Behold, I have made him lord over you and I have given him all his brothers as servants, and [with] grain and wine I have sustained him. Now what can I do for you, my son?"

But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called for her younger son Jacob. And she said to him, "Look, Esau your brother [is] consoling himself concerning you, [intending] to kill you.

Now then, my son, listen to my voice; arise and flee to Haran to Laban my brother.

When Jacob came in from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him. And she said, "Come in to me, for {I have hired} you with my son's mandrakes." And he slept with her that night.

For all the wealth that God has taken away from our father, it belongs to us and to our sons. So now, all that God has said to you, do."
