And he went in to his father saying: my father / And he answered: here am I / who art thou my son? And Jacob said unto his father: I am Esau thy eldest son / I have done according as thou baddest me / up and sit and eat of my venison / that thy soul may bless me. But Isaac said unto his son. How cometh it that thou hast found it so quickly my son? He answered: The LORD thy god brought it to my hand. Than said Isaac unto Jacob: come near and let me feel the my son / whether thou be my son Esau or not. Than went Jacob to Isaac his father / & he felt him & said the voice •• Jacobs voice / but the hands are y• hands of Esau. And he knew him not / because his hands were rough as his brother Esau hands? And so he blessed him.
