So Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob’s, but the hands are Esau’s.”
My father may touch me! Then he’ll think I’m mocking him and I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.”
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come closer so I can touch you, my son, and know for certain if you really are my son Esau.”
He did not recognize him because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So Isaac blessed Jacob.
As they approached Micah’s house, they recognized the accent of the young Levite. So they stopped there and said to him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What is your business here?”
