Bereshis 27:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:11

And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother
Being timorous lest he should do an ill thing, and be accounted a deceiver, and bring a curse upon himself: behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man;
covered all over with hair; as with a hairy garment; so he was born, and so he continued, and no doubt his hair increased, ( Genesis 25:25 ) : and I [am] a smooth man:
without hair, excepting in those parts where it is common for all men to have it.

Bereshis 27:11 In-Context

9 Go now to the tzon, and bring me from there two gedayei izzim tovim (good kids of goats); and I will make them matamim for avicha, such as he loveth:
10 And thou shalt bring it to avicha, that he may eat, and that he may make a brocha upon thee before his mot.
11 And Ya’akov said to Rivkah immo, Look, Esav achi is an ish sa’ir (hairy man), and I am an ish chalak (smooth man)
12 What if avi will touch me, and I shall seem to him as a meta’te’a (mocker); and I shall bring a kelalah upon me, and not a brocha.
13 And immo said unto him, Upon me be thy kelalah, beni; only obey my kol (voice), and go bring me them.
