Genesis 27:23 in Context — Genesis 27
21 Isaac dit à Jacob: Approche donc, et que je te touche, mon fils, pour savoir si tu es mon fils Ésaü, ou non.
22 Jacob s’approcha d’Isaac, son père, qui le toucha, et dit: La voix est la voix de Jacob, mais les mains sont les mains d’Ésaü.
23 Il ne le reconnut pas, parce que ses mains étaient velues, comme les mains d’Ésaü, son frère; et il le bénit.
24 Il dit: C’est toi qui es mon fils Ésaü? Et Jacob répondit: C’est moi.
25 Isaac dit: Sers-moi, et que je mange du gibier de mon fils, afin que mon âme te bénisse. Jacob le servit, et il mangea; il lui apporta aussi du vin, et il but.
