Genesis 27:21

Tree of Life Version

Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can feel you my son—whether or not you really are my son Esau.”

See the chapter Copy

Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded!

Creating the praise of lips: ‘Shalom, shalom to him who is far and to him who is near,’ says Adonai, ‘and I will heal him.’”

But for me, it is good to be near God. I have made my Lord Adonai my refuge. So I will tell of all Your works.

Perhaps my father will touch me, and he’ll take me for a mocker, and I’ll bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.”

So Jacob came closer to his father Isaac, and he felt him. Then he said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice but the hands are Esau’s hands.”
