He didn’t recognise him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; so they went over there and said to him, “Who brought you here? What do you do in this place? What do you have here?”
