Rebekah overhears Isaac and devises a plan to help Jacob, her favored son, steal the blessing. She instructs Jacob to dress as Esau. She says, “Go to the flock and bring me two good young goats. I will prepare from them delicious food for your father, what he loves.”

 It reads in Genesis 27:5-17 Easy: Rebekah listened to what Isaac said to Esau. She waited until Esau went out to the country to kill an animal and bring back the meat. Then she said to Jacob, ‘I heard your father say this to Esau: “Bring me some meat and prepare the food that I like to eat. When I have eaten it, I will give you my blessing. I will bless you in front of the Lord before I die.”  Now my son, listen carefully and do as I tell you. Go out to the animals and bring two goats to me. They must be very good young goats. Then I will prepare some food that your father likes to eat. I will cook the meat in the way that he likes. Then take the food to your father. When he has eaten it, he will give you his blessing before he dies.’ Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, ‘That will be difficult. Hair covers my brother’s skin. But my skin does not have any hair. My father may touch me. Then he will know that I am deceiving him. He will not bless me. He will curse me instead.’ Jacob’s mother said, ‘My son, the curse will happen to me, not you. Do what I say. Go and get the things that I told you.’ Jacob went and he got the goats. He brought them to his mother. She prepared some food in the way that Isaac liked to eat. Then Rebekah took some of Esau’s best clothes that were in her house. She put them on Jacob, her younger son. She covered Jacob’s hands with the skin from the goats. She also covered the part of his neck that had no hair. Then she gave to Jacob the food that Isaac liked to eat. And she gave him some bread that she had made.
