"He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth. "
— Genesis 27:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:”
“And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. ”
“Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.”
““But Esau my brother is a hairy man,” Jacob protested to his mother Rebekah,“and I have smooth skin!”
“And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am smooth:”
“And Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, But Esau my brother is covered with hair, while I am smooth:”
“And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:”
Therefore, now my son, agree to my counsel,
and go straight to the flock, and bring me two of the best young goats, so that from them I may make meat for your father, such as he willingly eats.
Then, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, he may bless you before he dies.”
He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
If my father should lay hands on me and perceive it, I am afraid lest he think me willing to mock him, and I will bring a curse upon myself, instead of a blessing.”
And his mother said to him: “Let this curse be upon me, my son. Yet listen to my voice, and go directly to bring what I said.”
He went out, and he brought, and he gave to his mother. She prepared the meats, just as she knew his father liked.
