Bereshis 27:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:25

And he said, bring [it] near to me

set it on a table before him, and guided his hands to it, or fed him with it, and he made a meal of it: and he brought him wine, and he drank;
and so was comfortably refreshed, and in a good temper and disposition of mind to confer the blessing.
