Genesis 27:18-23

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ Jacob went in to his father and said, “Father.”

And his father said, “Yes, my son. Who are you?”

¹⁹ Jacob said to him, “I am Esau, your first son. I have done what you told me. Now sit up and eat some meat of the animal I hunted for you. Then bless me.”

²⁰ But Isaac asked his son, “How did you find and kill the animal so quickly?”

Jacob answered, “Because the Lord your God led me to find it.”

²¹ Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near so I can touch you, my son. If I can touch you, I will know if you are really my son Esau.”

²² So Jacob came near to Isaac his father. Isaac touched him and said, “Your voice sounds like Jacob’s voice. But your hands are hairy like the hands of Esau.” ²³ Isaac did not know it was Jacob, because his hands were hairy like Esau’s hands. So Isaac blessed Jacob.
