Genesis 27:11

Isaac Blesses Jacob

10Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”11Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.12What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
