SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:15
Y tomó Rebeca los vestidos de Esaś su hijo mayor, los preciosos, que ella tenía en casa, y vistió a Jacob, su hijo menor:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 27:15
Verse 15. Goodly raiment] Mr. Ainsworth has a sensible note on this place. ""The priest in the law had holy garments to minister in, Exod. xxviii. 2-4, which the Septuagint there and in this place term thn stolhn, THE robe, and stolhn agian, the holy robe. Whether the first-born, before the law, had such to minister in is not certain, but it is probable by this example; for had they been common garments, why did not Esau himself, or his wives, keep them? But being, in all 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."" The opinion of Ainsworth is followed by many critics.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-17 - Rebekah knew that the blessing was intended for Jacob, and expected he would have it. But she wronged Isaac by putting a cheat on him; sh wronged Jacob by tempting him to wickedness. She put a stumbling-bloc in Esau's way, and gave him a pretext for hatred to Jacob and to religion. All were to be blamed. It was one of those crooked measure often adopted to further the Divine promises; as if the end woul justify, or excuse wrong means. Thus many have acted wrong, under the idea of being useful in promoting the cause of Christ. The answer to all such things is that which God addressed to Abraham, I am God Almighty; walk before me and be thou perfect. And it was a very ras speech of Rebekah, "Upon me be thy curse, my son." Christ has borne the curse of the law for all who take upon them the yoke of the command the command of the gospel. But it is too daring for any creature to say, Upon me be thy curse.
