He didn’t recognize Jacob, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “My brother Esau is a hairy man, and my skin is smooth.
She put the skins from the young goats on his hands and on the back of his neck.
So Jacob went over to his father. Isaac felt ⌞his skin⌟. “The voice is Jacob’s,” he said, “but the hands are Esau’s.”
“Are you really my son Esau?” he asked him. “I am,” Jacob answered.
Faith led Isaac to bless Jacob and Esau.
