27:12 deceiver. “Deceiver” is better translated “mocker.” At this point, Jacob hoped that he would not actually have to lie verbally to his father, but he did fear that he might seem to be mocking his blindness by dressing and smelling and feeling like Esau. Rebekah assured him she would take the blame.
