"And Isaac said, “Come here, so that I may touch you, my son, and may prove whether you are my son Esau, or not.” "
— Genesis 27:21, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.”
“And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. ”
“Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."”
“Then Isaac said to Jacob,“Come closer so I can touch you, my son, and know for certain if you really are my son Esau.””
“And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or no.”
“And Isaac said, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my son Esau or not.”
“And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.”
When he had carried these in, he said, “My father?” And he answered, “I’m listening. Who are you, my son?”
And Jacob said: “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you instructed me. Arise; sit and eat from my hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”
And again Isaac said to his son, “How were you able to find it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “It was the will of God, so that what I sought met with me quickly.”
And Isaac said, “Come here, so that I may touch you, my son, and may prove whether you are my son Esau, or not.”
He approached his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: “The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob. But the hands are the hands of Esau.”
And he did not recognize him, because his hairy hands made him seem similar to the elder one. Therefore, blessing him,
he said, “Are you my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
