Genesis 27:22

Study

       

22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."

3598. Since verses 34-38 are similar in content to such things as have been explained above and what they embody may be seen from what has been stated already, it is therefore superfluous to give any further explanation of their internal sense. Only what is contained in verses 39 and 40, which have to do with the blessing of Esau by Isaac his father, needs to have light cast upon it.
