Genesis 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.

20 Toen zeide Izak tot zijn zoon: Hoe is dit, dat gij het zo haast gevonden hebt, mijn zoon? En hij zeide: Omdat de HEERE uw God dat heeft doen ontmoeten voor mijn aangezicht.
21 En Izak zeide tot Jakob: Nader toch, dat ik u betaste, mijn zoon! of gij mijn zoon Ezau zelf zijt, of niet.
22 Toen kwam Jakob bij, tot zijn vader Izak, die hem betastte; en hij zeide: De stem is Jakobs stem, maar de handen zijn Ezau's handen.
23 Doch hij kende hem niet, omdat zijn handen harig waren, gelijk zijns broeders Ezau's handen; en hij zegende hem.
24 En hij zeide: Zijt gij mijn zoon Ezau zelf? En hij zeide: Ik ben het!
