• Gen 27:22 Jacob went closer. His father touched him and said, "You sound like Jacob, but your hands feel hairy like Esau's."

• Gen 27:23 And so Isaac blessed Jacob, thinking he was Esau.

• Gen 27:24 Isaac asked, "Are you really my son Esau?" "Yes, I am," Jacob answered.

• Gen 27:25 So Isaac told him, "Serve me the wild meat, and I can give you my blessing." Jacob gave him some meat, and he ate it. He also gave him some wine, and he drank it.

• Gen 27:26 Then Isaac said, "Son, come over here and kiss me."

• Gen 27:27 While Jacob was kissing him, Isaac caught the smell of his clothes and said: "The smell of my son is like a field the LORD has blessed.
