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 Después lleva la comida a tu padre para que se la coma y te bendiga antes de morir.

11 —Pero mira —respondió Jacob a Rebeca—, mi hermano Esaú es muy velludo; en cambio, mi piel es suave.

12 ¿Y si mi padre me toca? Entonces se dará cuenta de que intento engañarlo, y en lugar de bendecirme, me maldecirá.

13 Pero su madre respondió:
—¡Entonces que la maldición caiga sobre mí, hijo mío! Tú simplemente haz lo que te digo. ¡Sal y tráeme los cabritos!

14 Así que Jacob salió y consiguió los cabritos para su madre. Rebeca preparó con ellos un plato delicioso, tal como le gustaba a Isaac.
