Genesis 27:32 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:32

And Isaac his father said unto him, who [art] thou?
&c.] Hearing another voice more like Esau's than what he had heard before surprised him, and therefore in haste puts this question: and he said, I [am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau;
all which was true in a sense; he was his son, and he was Esau, and he was his firstborn by nature, but not by right, for he had sold his birthright.

Genesis 27:32 In-Context

30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.

31 He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”

32 But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.

33 Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”

34 When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”
