Génesis 27:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:15

And Rebekah took goodly garments of her eldest son Esau
Or "desirable" ^F17 ones, exceeding good ones: which [were] with her in the house;
which she had the care and keeping of, and were wore only on particular occasions: some think these were priestly garments, which belonged to him as the firstborn, and were not in the keeping of his wives, being idolaters, but in his mother's keeping; which is not very probable, yet more likely than that they were, as some Jewish writers ^F18 say, the garments of Adam the first man, which Esau seeing on Nimrod, greatly desired them, and slew him for them, see ( Genesis 10:10 ) ; and hence called desirable garments: and put them upon Jacob her younger son;
that be might be took for Esau, should Isaac examine him and feel his garments, or smell them.

Génesis 27:15 In-Context

13 Pero su madre respondió:
—¡Entonces que la maldición caiga sobre mí, hijo mío! Tú simplemente haz lo que te digo. ¡Sal y tráeme los cabritos!

14 Así que Jacob salió y consiguió los cabritos para su madre. Rebeca preparó con ellos un plato delicioso, tal como le gustaba a Isaac.

15 Después tomó las ropas favoritas de Esaú, que estaban allí en casa, y se las dio a su hijo menor, Jacob.

16 Con la piel de los cabritos, ella le cubrió los brazos y la parte del cuello donde él no tenía vello.

17 Luego le entregó a Jacob el plato delicioso y el pan recién horneado.
