In context
18 So he went in unto his father, and said My father! And he said Behold me! who art, thou, my son?
19 And Jacob said unto his father I, am Esau thy firstborn, I have made ready, as thou didst bid me. Rise, I pray thee, sit up, and eat thou of my game, To the end thy soul may bless me.
20 Then said Isaac unto his son. How is it thou hast been so quick in finding, my son? And he said, Because Yahweh thy God caused it so to fall out before me.
21 Then said Isaac unto Jacob. Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee my son—whether, thou thyself, art my son Esau, or not.
22 So Jacob came near unto Isaac his father, and he felt him; then said he the voice is the voice of Jacob; But, the hands, are the hands of Esau.
23 So he did not find him out, because, his hands were like the hands of Esau his brother hairy,—so he blessed him.
24 And he said, Thou thyself, art my son Esau? And he said, I am!
