Genesis 27:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:24

And said, [art] thou my very son Esau?
&c.] Still having some doubt on his mind whether he really was so or not, because of his voice: and he said, I [am];
as for the observation of Jarchi upon this, in order to excuse Jacob from lying, that he does not say, "I am Esau", only "I", it will not do, since it is an answer to Isaac's question, with a design to deceive him; and he intended by it that he should understand him as he did, that he was really Esau.

Genesis 27:24 In-Context

22 So Jacob approached his father Isaac, and Isaac touched him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the arms are Esau's arms."

23 Isaac didn't recognize him because his arms were hairy like Esau's arms, so he blessed him.

24 Isaac said, "Are you really my son Esau?" And he said, "I am."

25 Isaac said, "Bring some food here and let me eat some of my son's game so I can bless you." Jacob put it before him and he ate, and he brought him wine and he drank.

26 His father Isaac said to him, "Come here and kiss me, my son."
