Genesis 27:6-13
New International Version
6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob,(A) “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau, 7 ‘Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the Lord before I die.’(B) 8 Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you:(C) 9 Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats,(D) so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it.(E) 10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing(F) before he dies.”
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man(G) while I have smooth skin. 12 What if my father touches me?(H) I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse(I) on myself rather than a blessing.”
13 His mother said to him, “My son, let the curse fall on me.(J) Just do what I say;(K) go and get them for me.”

Genesis 27:6-13
King James Version
6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12 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.
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
