Genesis 27:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:25

And he said, bring [it] near to me
Being in a good measure satisfied that it must be Esau that was with him, he agreed that he should set his savoury meat before him he had prepared and brought to him: and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee;
this showed that as yet he had not blessed him, at least that the main and principal blessing was yet to come: and he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat;
set it on a table before him, and guided his hands to it, or fed him with it, and he made a meal of it: and he brought him wine, and he drank;
and so was comfortably refreshed, and in a good temper and disposition of mind to confer the blessing.

Genesis 27:25 In-Context

23 He didn't recognize him because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's.

24 he pressed him, "You're sure? You are my son Esau?" "Yes. I am."

25 Isaac said, "Bring the food so I can eat of my son's game and give you my personal blessing." Jacob brought it to him and he ate. He also brought him wine and he drank.

26 Then Isaac said, "Come close, son, and kiss me."

27 He came close and kissed him and Isaac smelled the smell of his clothes. Finally, he blessed him, Ahhh. The smell of my son is like the smell of the open country blessed by God.
