10 et tu le porteras à manger à ton père, afin qu’il te bénisse avant sa mort.
11 Jacob répondit à sa mère: Voici, Ésaü, mon frère, est velu, et je n’ai point de poil.
12 Peut-être mon père me touchera-t-il, et je passerai à ses yeux pour un menteur, et je ferai venir sur moi la malédiction, et non la bénédiction.
13 Sa mère lui dit: Que cette malédiction, mon fils, retombe sur moi! Écoute seulement ma voix, et va me les prendre.
14 Jacob alla les prendre, et les apporta à sa mère, qui fit un mets comme son père aimait.
