Genesi 27:16 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:16

And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands,
&c.] Upon both his hands, and the whole of them that was bare, that he might appear to be like Esau: and upon the smooth of his neck;
which in Esau was covered with hair as his hands; and Hiscuni, a Jewish writer F19, observes, that the skins of goats are rough, and like the skin of a hairy man; and so Bochart


FOOTNOTES:

F20 remarks, that goats' hair in the eastern countries is not much unlike human hair; see ( 1 Samuel 19:13 1 Samuel 19:16 ) .
F19 Apud Drusium in loc.
F20 Hierozoic. par. 1. l. 2. c. 51. col. 626.
