Genesis 27:12-14
New English Translation

12 My father may touch me! Then he’ll think I’m mocking him[a] and I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.” 13 So his mother told him, “Any curse against you will fall on me,[b] my son! Just obey me![c] Go and get them for me!”

14 So he went and got the goats[d] and brought them to his mother. She[e] prepared some tasty food, just the way his father loved it.
