Genesis 27:10-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
10Then you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.' 11But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, 'Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man and I am a smooth man. 12Perhaps my father will touch me, then I will be like a deceiver in his sight, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.' 13But his mother said to him, 'Your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get the goats for me.' 14So he went and got them, and brought them to his mother; and his mother made a delicious meal such as his father loved. 15Then Rebekah took the best garments of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob. 16And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.King James Version
Chapter 27
10And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. 11And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: 12My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. 13And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. 14And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved. 15And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son: 16And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:Christian Standard Bible
11Jacob answered Rebekah his mother, "Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am a man with smooth skin.
12Suppose my father touches me. Then I will be revealed to him as a deceiver and bring a curse rather than a blessing on myself."
14So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother, and his mother made the delicious food his father loved.
15Then Rebekah took the best clothes of her older son Esau, which were in the house, and had her younger son Jacob wear them.
16She put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
New Living Translation
11But look,' Jacob replied to Rebekah, 'my brother, Esau, is a hairy man, and my skin is smooth.
12What if my father touches me? He’ll see that I’m trying to trick him, and then he’ll curse me instead of blessing me.'
14So Jacob went out and got the young goats for his mother. Rebekah took them and prepared a delicious meal, just the way Isaac liked it.
15Then she took Esau’s favorite clothes, which were there in the house, and gave them to her younger son, Jacob.
16She covered his arms and the smooth part of his neck with the skin of the young goats.

Chapter 27
10And you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.” 11But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him and bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing.” 13His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, bring them to me.”
14So he went and took them and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared delicious food, such as his father loved.
15Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.
16And the skins of the young goats she put on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

Chapter 27
10Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing before he dies.'
11Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, 'But my brother Esau is a hairy man while I have smooth skin.
12What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing.'
14So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.
15Then Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
16She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.
New King James Version
11And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth- skinned man.
12Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”
13But his mother said to him, “ Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.”
14And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
15Then Rebekah took the choice clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.
16And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
