When Isaac grew old, his eyesight began to fade.

One day he called Esau and said.

My death is near, so take your quiver and bow and hunt for me some animal from the forest and cook the game to my liking, so that I may eat it and pray to you before I die.

Rebecca heard this from Isaac.

He said to Jacob, "I will cook two fat fresh goats from the herd according to your father's taste, then you will take the food to your father and he will pray for you."

Jacob said, mother, you know that Esau has hair on his body, while my body is clean, maybe my father will touch me and see that I am deceiving him.

That's why they gave me bad dua instead of dua.

Rabeka said, "If the group curses you, leave this curse to me."

After Rebekah had prepared the meal, she dressed Jacob in Esau's best clothes, then she covered Jacob's arms and neck with a goatskin.

When Jacob went to his father with food.

Isaac asked, "O son, how did you hunt the animal so quickly?"

Jacob said that the Lord gave me success in hunting, then Isaac said to him that you come near me, your voice is like Jacob, but your arms are like Esau, are you my son Esau?

Jacob said yes, I am Esau.

Isaac said come near me and kiss me.

Jacob bowed down and kissed his father. When Isaac smelled Esau's clothes, he blessed him and prayed for him.

He who curses you, you bless yourself and whoever prays to you, he will be blessed. (Judaism)
