Genesis 27:22
"And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father,.... Boldly and without trembling; which he could the better do, as his father could not see him, and so not capable of

discerning any change in his countenance or outward behaviour: and he felt him; some parts of his body, especially his hands: and said, the voice is Jacob's voice; very like it, as if it was the same, as indeed it was: but the hands are the hands of Esau; are like them, being hairy as they; or, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem,"the feeling of the hands is as the feeling of the hands of Esau;''they feel like them.
