Genesi 27:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:22

And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father
Boldly and without trembling; which he could the better do, as his father could not see him, and so not capable of discerning any change in his countenance or outward behaviour: and he felt him;
some parts of his body, especially his hands: and said, the voice [is] Jacob's voice;
very like it, as if it was the same, as indeed it was: but the hands [are] the hands of Esau;
are like them, being hairy as they; or, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem,

``the feeling of the hands is as the feeling of the hands of Esau;''
they feel like them.

Genesi 27:22 In-Context

20 E Isacco disse ai suo figliuolo: "Come hai fatto a trovarne così presto, figliuol mio?" E quello rispose: "Perché l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, l’ha fatta venire sulla mia via".
21 E Isacco disse a Giacobbe: "Fatti vicino, figliuol mio, ch’io ti tasti, per sapere se sei proprio il mio figliuolo Esaù, o no".
22 Giacobbe dunque s’avvicinò a Isacco suo padre e, come questi l’ebbe tastato, disse: "La voce è la voce di Giacobbe; ma le mani son le mani d’Esaù".
23 E non lo riconobbe, perché le mani di lui eran pelose come le mani di Esaù suo fratello: e lo benedisse. E disse:
24 "Sei tu proprio il mio figliuolo Esaù?" Egli rispose: "Sì".
