    22So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, 'The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.'

    24'Are you really my son Esau?' he asked. 'I am,' Jacob replied.

    25Then Isaac said, 'Bring it to me so I may eat my son’s game and bless you.' So Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
