Génesis 27:12

12 por ventura me tentará mi padre, y me tendrá por burlador, y traeré sobre mí maldición y no bendición

Génesis 27:12 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:12

My father peradventure will feel me
For, though he could not see him, and so discern whether he had any hair or no on him, yet, suspecting him by his voice, he might call him to him to feel him, as he did; for Jacob understood his mother right, that he was to represent his brother Esau in the transaction of this affair: and I shall seem to him as a deceiver;
one that imposes upon another and causes him to err, leads him to say or do wrong things: and not only appear as one, but be really one, and even a very great one, as the doubling of the radical letters in the word shows; yea, the worst of deceivers, a deceiver of a parent, of one that was both aged and blind: and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing;
and he might justly fear, that should he be found out, it would so provoke his father, that instead of blessing him, he would curse him, see ( Deuteronomy 27:18 ) .

Génesis 27:12 In-Context

10 y tú los llevarás a tu padre, y comerá, para que te bendiga antes de su muerte

11 Y Jacob dijo a Rebeca su madre: He aquí Esaú mi hermano es hombre velloso, y yo hombre sin pelos

12 por ventura me tentará mi padre, y me tendrá por burlador, y traeré sobre mí maldición y no bendición

13 Y su madre respondió: Hijo mío, sobre mí sea tu maldición; solamente obedece mi voz, y ve, y tómalos

14 Entonces él fue, y los tomó, y los trajo a su madre; y su madre hizo guisados, como su padre los amaba
