B. REBEKAH'S SCHEME

And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, "Behold, I heard thy

father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, 'Bring me venison, and make

me savory meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my

death.' Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I

command thee. Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good

kids of the goats; and I will make them savory meat for thy father, such

as he loveth: and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so

that he may bless thee before his death."

And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, Esau my brother is a

hairy man, and I am a smooth man. My 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."

And his mother said unto him, "Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey

my voice, and go fetch me them."

And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother

made savory meat, such as his father loved. And Rebekah took the goodly

garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and

put them upon Jacob her younger son: and she put the skins of the kids

of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: and she

gave the savory meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the

hand of her son Jacob.
