Genesis 27:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:22

And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father
Boldly and without trembling; which he could the better do, as his father could not see him, and so not capable of discerning any change in his countenance or outward behaviour: and he felt him;
some parts of his body, especially his hands: and said, the voice [is] Jacob's voice;
very like it, as if it was the same, as indeed it was: but the hands [are] the hands of Esau;
are like them, being hairy as they; or, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem,

``the feeling of the hands is as the feeling of the hands of Esau;''
they feel like them.
