Holy Scripture
Genesis 27:11
A church father on this verse
“How clearly Jacob has shown here his piety!… In other respects it was also true what was said by Jacob, that is: "My brother Esau is a hairy man," that is, a sinner, "but I am a man of smooth skin." In fact, through these words the faultless and sinless character of the flesh of the Lord is revealed.”

In context
9And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for thy father, as he likes.
10And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.
— Genesis 27:11 —
12Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.
13And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring them me.
