Genesis 27:14-16
New English Translation
14 So he went and got the goats[a] and brought them to his mother. She[b] prepared some tasty food, just the way his father loved it. 15 Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s best clothes, which she had with her in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob. 16 She put the skins of the young goats[c] on his hands[d] and the smooth part of his neck.
