   * Ge 25:27,28 1Co 6:12


VERSE 4 
 - that I may eat.
  The blessing, says Dr. A. Clarke, which Isaac was to confer on
  his son, was a species of divine right, and must be
  communicated with appropriate ceremonies.  As eating and
  drinking were used among the Asiatics on almost all religious
  occasions, and especially in making and confirming covenants,
  it is reasonable to suppose, that something of this kind was
  essentially necessary on this occasion; and that Isaac could
  not convey the right, till he had eaten of the meat provided
  for the purpose by him who was to receive the blessing.

- that my.

VERSE 15 
 - goodly raiment.  Heb. desirable.
   * :27
  The Septuagint translates it 'a goodly robe,' which was a long
  garment that great men used to wear, (Lu. 46 20:46; 22 15:22.)  The
  priest afterwards in the law had 'holy garments' to minister
  in, (Ex. 2 28:2-4.)  Whether the first-born before the law had
  such to minister in is not certain: for, had they been common
  garments, why did not Esau himself or his wives keep them?
  But being, in likelihood, holy robes, received from their
  ancestors, the mother of the family kept them in sweet chests,
  from moths and the like; whereupon it is said, (ver. 27,)
  'Isaac smelled the smell of his garments.'


VERSE 16 
 - skins.
  Travellers inform us, that the Eastern goats have long, fine,
  and beautiful hair, of the most delicate silky softness;
  indeed the animals generally in those hot countries are not
  covered with so thick a coat of hair as they are in more
  northerly regions; so that Isaac might easily be deceived,
  when his eyes were dim, and his feeling no less impaired than
  his sight.

VERSE 22 
 - The voice.
  How wonderful, says Mr. Scott, is that difference which there
  is betwixt the faces and the voices of the several individuals
  of the human species!  Scarcely any two of the innumerable
  millions are exactly alike in either, and yet the difference
  cannot be defined or described!  The power, wisdom, and
  kindness of our Creator should be admired and adored in this
  remarkable circumstance; for they are very visible.   This
  description of Jacob is not unaptly accommodated to the
  character of a hypocrite:  his voice, his language, is that of
  a Christian; his hands, or conduct, that of an ungodly man:
  but the judgment will proceed from God, the Judge of all, at
  the last day, as in the present case, not by the voice, but by
  the hands.

  A field where aromatic plants, flowers, fruits, and spices
  grew in abundance, with which these garments (see ver. 15) of
  Esau might probably have been perfumed by being laid up with
  them.

  It is here foretold, says Bp. Newton, that as to temporal
  advantages, the two brothers should be much alike.   (See ver.
  28.)  Esau had cattle, beasts, and substance in abundance, and
  he went to dwell in Mount Seir of his own accord.  When the
  Israelites desired leave to pass through the territories of
  Edom, the country abounded with fruitful fields and vineyards.
