Génesis 27:23 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:23

And he discerned him not
As he could not see, he could make no judgment by that sense; and, though he had his hearing, and thought the voice was like Jacob's, he might imagine there might be an alteration in Esau's voice, coming in haste and weary from the fields; yet, as there could not be any deception in his feeling, he thought it safest to trust to that, as it follows: because his hands were hairy as his brother Esau's hands;
which could not in a short time become so naturally; it was more reasonable to think that Esau's voice should be altered and become like Jacob's, than that Jacob's hands should become like Esau's: so he blessed him;
or intended and determined within himself to bless him, for the blessing was not given till afterwards; unless this is to be understood of a common blessing, congratulating him on the quick dispatch he made, and the great success he met with; and after this gave him the patriarchal blessing, which as yet he had not, being not thoroughly satisfied of him, as appears by what follows.

Génesis 27:23 In-Context

21 Entonces Isaac le dijo a Jacob:
—Acércate para que pueda tocarte y asegurarme de que de verdad eres Esaú.

22 Entonces Jacob se acercó a su padre, e Isaac lo tocó.
—La voz es la de Jacob, pero las manos son las de Esaú —dijo Isaac.

23 Sin embargo, no reconoció a Jacob porque, cuando tocó las manos de Jacob, estaban velludas como las de Esaú. Así que Isaac se preparó para bendecir a Jacob.

24 —¿De verdad eres mi hijo Esaú? —preguntó.
—Sí, lo soy —contestó Jacob.

25 Entonces Isaac dijo:
—Ahora, hijo mío, tráeme lo que cazaste. Primero comeré y después te daré mi bendición.
Entonces Jacob llevó la comida a su padre, e Isaac la comió. También bebió el vino que Jacob le sirvió.
