Midrash Tanchuma
When Isaac sent Esau to hunt for venison that he might eat, the Holy Spirit revealed it to Rebecca, as it is said: And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau, his son (ibid., v. 5). And she said to Jacob: Now, therefore, my son, hearken to my voice according to that which I command thee; go now to the flock and fetch me from thence two good goats (ibid., vv. 8–9). R. Berechiah said in the name of R. Helbo: She told him that they (the goats) would be good for you and good for your descendants, for they will obtain forgiveness through them on the Day of Atonement.10The scapegoats offered on the Day of Atonement (Lev. 16:7–26). Then he brought his father the food and wine, which he ate and drank. After that he blessed him, as is said: Therefore, God give thee of the dew of heaven…. Let peoples serve thee (ibid., v. 29). And Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac, his father, that Esau, his brother, came in from his hunting (ibid., v. 30). He began to say: Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison (ibid., v. 31). Whereupon Isaac asked: Who art thou? (ibid., v. 32). I am thy son, he replied, thy firstborn, Esau (ibid.). Thereupon Isaac trembled very exceedingly.
