Rebekah and Jacob Plot Deception
Genesis 27:6-17
6
Then Rebekah spake vnto Iaakob her sonne, saying, Beholde, I haue heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, saying,
7
Bring mee vension, and make mee sauourie meate, that I may eate and blesse thee before the Lord, afore my death.
8
Nowe therefore, my sonne, heare my voyce in that which I command thee.
9
Get thee nowe to the flocke, and bring me thence two good kids of the goates, that I may make pleasant meate of them for thy father, such as he loueth.
10
Then shalt thou bring it to thy father, and he shall eate, to the intent that he may blesse thee before his death.
11
But Iaakob sayde to Rebekah his mother, Beholde, Esau my brother is rough, and I am smoothe.
12
My father may possibly feele me, and I shall seem to him to be a mocker: so shall I bring a curse vpon me, and not a blessing.
13
But his mother sayd vnto him, vpon me be thy curse, my sonne: onely heare my voyce, and go and bring me them.
14
So he went and set them, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made pleasant meat, such as his father loued.
15
And Rebekah tooke faire clothes of her elder sonne Esau, which were in her house, and clothed Iaakob her yonger sonne:
16
And she couered his hands and the smoothe of his necke with the skinnes of the kiddes of the goates.
17
Afterward she put the pleasant meate and bread, which she had prepared, in the hand of her sonne Iaakob.
