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 Jacob moved closer to his father, who felt him and said, "Your voice sounds like Jacob's voice, but your arms feel like Esau's arms."

23 He did not recognize Jacob, because his arms were hairy like Esau's. He was about to give him his blessing,

24 but asked again, "Are you really Esau?" "I am," he answered.

25 Isaac said, "Bring me some of the meat. After I eat it, I will give you my blessing." Jacob brought it to him, and he also brought him some wine to drink.

26 Then his father said to him, "Come closer and kiss me, son."
