Genesis 27:17 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:17

And she gave the savoury meat
Seasoned and dressed in such a manner as might be taken for venison: and the bread which she had prepared
to eat with it, into the hand of her son Jacob;
the dish of meat in one hand, and the bread in the other.

Genesis 27:17 In-Context

15 Next, Rivkah took 'Esav her older son's best clothes, which she had with her in the house, and put them on Ya'akov her younger son;
16 and she put the skins of the goats on his hands and on the smooth parts of his neck.
17 Then she gave the tasty food and the bread she had prepared to her son Ya'akov.
18 He went to his father and said, "My father?" He replied, "Here I am; who are you, my son?"
19 Ya'akov said to his father, "I am 'Esav your firstborn. I've done what you asked me to do. Get up now, sit down, eat the game, and then give me your blessing."
