Genesis 27:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:11

And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother

covered all over with hair; as with a hairy garment; so he was born, and so he continued, and no doubt his hair increased, ( Genesis 25:25 ) : and I [am] a smooth man:
without hair, excepting in those parts where it is common for all men to have it.

13 ad quem mater in me sit ait ista maledictio fili mi tantum audi vocem meam et perge adferque quae dixi
