OET (OET-RV) What if my father touches me? Then he’ll think of me as a deceiver and he’ll curse me rather than bless me.”
אוּלַ֤י
perhaps
Alternate translation: “What would happen if” or “I am afraid of what will happen if”
יְמֻשֵּׁ֨נִי֙ אָבִ֔י
feel,me father,my
If this sentence is translated as a statement, you could end it with a period or an exclamation point to show that Jacob is worried. Alternate translation: “my father feels my arms”

Make sure that your translation of verse 12 describes a hypothetical situation, not something that had happened yet. Some languages have a special verb form (such as “would”) to communicate this. Alternate translation: “Certainly he would recognize me and know that I am trying to trick him.”
וְהֵבֵאתִ֥י עָלַ֛י קְלָלָ֖ה וְלֹ֥א בְרָכָֽה
and,bring on,myself curse and=not blessing
Alternate translation: “Then I would cause myself to be cursed instead of blessed.”
27:1-40 Jacob got his father Isaac’s blessing through deception. In this story, an entire family tries to carry out their responsibilities by physical means rather than by faith. Faith would have provided Rebekah and Jacob a more honorable solution to the crisis.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
