"And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands,.... Upon both his hands, and the whole of them that was bare, that he might appear
to be like Esau: and upon the smooth of his neck; which in Esau was covered with hair as his hands; and Hiscuni, a Jewish writer (s), observes, that the skins of goats are rough, and like the skin of a hairy man; and so Bochart (t) remarks, that goats' hair in the eastern countries is not much unlike human hair; see Sa1 19:13 . (s) Apud Drusium in loc. (t) Hierozoic. par. 1. l. 2. c. 51. col. 626.
