Isaac and Rebekah had twin sons - Esau and Jacob, with Esau being the elder of the two. When Isaac grew old, he told his older son Esau to cook him a meat stew and then come and seek his blessings as the firstborn son. Rebekah overheard this and helped Jacob, the son she favoured, trick Isaac.

She helped him cook the stew Isaac liked and then covered his hands with the hide of animals so that they appeared hairy like Esau's. Isaac was thus tricked into giving his younger son the blessing that was due to his firstborn.
