the skins of the kids upon his
hands and on the exposed
parts of his neck. 12 And she
gave the meat and the bread
which she had prepared into
the hand of her son Jacob.
13 And Jacob went in to his
father and said: “I am thy
son: I have done according
as thou badest me: arise and
sit and eat of that which I
have caught, father, that thy
soul may bless me.” 14 And
Isaac said to his son: “How
hast thou found so quickly,
my son?” 15 And Jacob said:
“Because (Yahuah) thy Elohim
caused me to find.” 16 And
Isaac said unto him: “Come
near, that I may feel thee, my
son, if thou art my son Esau
or not.” 17 And Jacob went
near to Isaac, his father, and
he felt him and said: 18 “The
voice is Jacob’s voice, but the
hands are the hands of Esau,”
and he discerned him not,
because it was a dispensation
from heaven to remove his
power of perception and Isaac
discerned not, for his hands
were hairy as (his brother)
Esau’s, so that he blessed him.
19 And he said: “Art thou
my son Esau?” and he said:
“I am thy son and he said,
“Bring near to me that I may
eat of that which thou hast
caught, my son, that my soul
J A C O B
may bless thee.” 20 And he
brought near to him, and he
did eat, and he brought him
wine and he drank. 21 And
Isaac, his father, said unto
him: “Come near and kiss
me, my son.” And he came
near and kissed him. 22 And
he smelled the smell of his
raiment, and he blessed him
and said: “Behold, the smell
of my son is as the smell of a
(full) field which Yahuah hath
blessed. 23 And may Yahuah
give thee of the dew of heaven
And of the dew of the earth,
and plenty of corn and oil:
Let nations serve thee, And
peoples bow down to thee.
24 Be lord over thy brethren,
And let thy mother’s sons
bow down to thee; And may
all the blessings wherewith
Yahuah hath blessed me and
blessed Abraham, my father,
Be imparted to thee and to
thy seed for ever Cursed be he
that curseth thee, And blessed
be he that blesseth thee.” 25
And it came to pass as soon
as Isaac had made an end of
blessing his son Jacob, and
Jacob had gone forth from
Isaac his father †he hid himself
and† Esau, his brother, came
in from his hunting. 26 And
he also made savoury meat,
and brought (it) to his father,
and said unto his father: “Let
