Genesis 27:23 in Context — Genesis 27
21 E Isaac dijo á Jacob: Acércate ahora, y te palparé, hijo mío, por si eres mi hijo Esaú, ó no.
22 Y llegóse Jacob á su padre Isaac; y él le palpó, y dijo: La voz es la voz de Jacob, mas las manos, las manos de Esaú.
23 Y no le conoció, porque sus manos eran vellosas como las manos de Esaú: y le bendijo.
24 Y dijo: ¿Eres tú mi hijo Esaú? Y él respondió: Yo soy.
25 Y dijo: Acércamela, y comeré de la caza de mi hijo, para que te bendiga mi alma; y él se [la] acercó, y comió: trájole también vino, y bebió.
