SCRIPTURE

"And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first-born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God sent me good speed." — Genesis 27:19-20 (ASV)

I have done as you commanded me: arise, I pray you, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me. And Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?

And he said, Because the Lord your God brought it to me.

Here he draws God's name into this lie, and this is worse still.
