Genesis 27:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:11

And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother
Being timorous lest he should do an ill thing, and be accounted a deceiver, and bring a curse upon himself: behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man;
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.

Genesis 27:11 In-Context

9 Go to the flock and get me two healthy young goats so I can prepare them as the delicious food your father loves.

10 You can bring it to your father, he will eat, and then he will bless you before he dies."

11 Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, "My brother Esau is a hairy man, but I have smooth skin.

12 What if my father touches me and thinks I'm making fun of him? I will be cursed instead of blessed."

13 His mother said to him, "Your curse will be on me, my son. Just listen to me: go and get them for me."
