Genesis 27:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is rough, and I am smooth.
12 My father may possibly feel me, and I shall seem [a]to him as a [b]mocker: so shall I bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13 But his mother said unto him, [c][d]Upon me be thy curse, my son: only hear my voice, and go and bring me them.

11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man(A) while I have smooth skin. 12 What if my father touches me?(B) I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse(C) on myself rather than a blessing.”
13 His mother said to him, “My son, let the curse fall on me.(D) Just do what I say;(E) go and get them for me.”
