Commentary

And Isaac said unto Jacob, come near, I pray thee, that I may feel t hee, my son,.... Still suspecting some fraud in the case; and whereas he knew that Esau was a hairy man, and Jacob smooth, he thought by feeling he could discover the imposture, if there was any: whether thou be my very son Esau, or not; which he still pretty much questioned.
