Genesis 27:10 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:10

And thou shall bring [it] to thy father
For venison; and as if he was Esau that brought it: that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death;
to whom she knew by the divine oracle the blessing belonged, ( Genesis 25:23 ) , as well as by virtue of the sale of the birthright to him by his brother, ( Genesis 25:33 ) , and through Esau's forfeiting of it by marrying with the Canaanites, ( Genesis 26:34 ) ; in these her sentiments she was right, but wrong in the ways and means she took to get it for him.

Genesis 27:10 In-Context

8 Now pay attention to me, my son; and do what I tell you.

9 Go to the flock, and bring me back two choice kids. I will make it tasty for your father, the way he likes it;

10 and you will bring it to your father to eat; so that he will give his blessing to you before his death."

11 Ya'akov answered Rivkah his mother, "Look, 'Esav is hairy, but I have smooth skin.

12 Suppose my father touches me -he'll know I'm trying to trick him, and I'll bring a curse on myself, not a blessing!"
