Génesis 27:20 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:20

And Isaac said unto his son
Supposing him to be Esau: how [is it] that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son?
that is, the venison; that he had met with it so soon in, the field, and got it dressed and ready in so short a time, which was not common, and seemed to be too little for doing all this in it, and so still created some suspicion of deceit: and he said, because the Lord thy God brought [it] to me;
which was another falsehood; for it was not the Lord, but his mother brought it to him: and this seems to be the most marvellous of all, that so good a man should dare to bring the name of the Lord God into this affair; indeed he does not say the Lord my God, or our God, but thy God; which some think was done on purpose, the more to cover the deceit, because they suppose that Esau, whom Jacob impersonated, was an idolater, but this is not so evident; rather it looks as if Jacob had not the confidence to call the Lord his God with a lie in his mouth.

18 Entonces él fue a su padre, y dijo: Padre mío. Y éste respondió: Aquí estoy. ¿Quién eres, hijo mío?
19 Y Jacob dijo a su padre: Soy Esaú tu primogénito. He hecho lo que me dijiste. Levántate, te ruego. Siéntate y come de mi caza para que me bendigas.
20 E Isaac dijo a su hijo: ¿Cómo es que la has encontrado tan pronto, hijo mío? Y él respondió: Porque el SEÑOR tu Dios hizo que así me acaeciera.
21 Isaac entonces dijo a Jacob: Te ruego que te acerques para palparte, hijo mío, a ver si en verdad eres o no mi hijo Esaú.
22 Jacob se acercó a Isaac su padre, y él lo palpó y dijo: La voz es la voz de Jacob, pero las manos son las manos de Esaú.
