Genèse 27:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:24

And said, [art] thou my very son Esau?
&c.] Still having some doubt on his mind whether he really was so or not, because of his voice: and he said, I [am];
as for the observation of Jarchi upon this, in order to excuse Jacob from lying, that he does not say, "I am Esau", only "I", it will not do, since it is an answer to Isaac's question, with a design to deceive him; and he intended by it that he should understand him as he did, that he was really Esau.

Genèse 27:24 In-Context

22 Jacob s'approcha d'Isaac, son père, qui le toucha, et dit: La voix est la voix de Jacob, mais les mains sont les mains d'Esaü.
23 Il ne le reconnut pas, parce que ses mains étaient velues, comme les mains d'Esaü, son frère; et il le bénit.
24 Il dit: C'est toi qui es mon fils Esaü? Et Jacob répondit: C'est moi.
25 Isaac dit: Sers-moi, et que je mange du gibier de mon fils, afin que mon âme te bénisse. Jacob le servit, et il mangea; il lui apporta aussi du vin, et il but.
26 Alors Isaac, son père, lui dit: Approche donc, et baise-moi, mon fils.
