Genesis 27:16 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 27.

12 What 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.”

13 His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”

14 So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.

15 And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.

16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

17 Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.

18 So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”

19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”

20 But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.
