- * goodly raiment. Heb. desirable.
- # 27
- The Septuagint translates it "a goodly robe," which was a long
- garment that great men used to wear, (Lu 20:46; 15:22.) The
- priest afterwards in the law had "holy garments" to minister
- in, (Ex 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."

- * 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.

- * 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.

- 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.

- Whoever observes Jacob's life, after he had surreptitiously
- obtained his father's blessing, will perceive that he enjoyed
- very little worldly felicity. His brother purposed to murder
- him, to avoid which he was forced to flee from his father's
- house; his uncle Laban deceived him, as he had deceived his
- father, and treated him with great rigour; after a servitude
- of 21 years, he was obliged to leave him in a clandestine
- manner, not without danger of being brought back, or murdered
- by his enraged brother; no sooner were these fears over, than
- he experienced the baseness of his son Reuben, in defiling his
- bed; he had next to bewail the treachery and cruelty of Simeon
- and Levi toward the Shechemites; then he had to feel the loss
- of his beloved wife; he was next imposed upon by his own sons,
- and had to lament the supposed untimely end of Joseph; and to
- complete all, he was forced by famine to go into Egypt, and
- there died, in a strange land. So just, wonderful, and
- instructive are all the ways of Providence!
