Genesis 27:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 27:19

17 Then she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

18 So he went to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”

19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done just as you told me; please arise, sit and eat of my game, ^athat your soul may bless me.”

20 But 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.”

21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I ^amay feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”

22 So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”

23 And he did not recognize him, because ^ahis hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.

24 Then he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”

25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, so ^athat my soul may bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
