Clarke, which Isaac was to confer on his son, was a species of divine right, and must be communicated with appropriate ceremonies. As eating and drinking were used among the Asiatics on almost all religious occasions, and especially in making and confirming covenants, it is reasonable to suppose, that something of this kind was essentially necessary on this occasion; and that Isaac could not convey the right, till he had eaten of the meat provided for the purpose by him who was to receive the blessing.that myGenesis 27:7, 27:23, 27:25, 27:27, 14:19, 24:60, 28:3, 48:9, 48:15-20, 49:28; Leviticus 9:22, 9:23; Deuteronomy 33:1-29; Joshua 14:13, 22:6; Luke 2:34, 24:51; Habakkuk 3:1ReciprocalGenesis 25:28 - he did eat of his venison; 27:9 - savoury; 27:14 - mother; 27:19 - that thy; 27:31 - eat; 28:1 - blessed; Luke 24:50 - he lifted; John 1:13 - nor of the will of the Verse 6ReciprocalGenesis 25:28 - Rebekah Verse 7before theDeuteronomy 33:1; Joshua 6:26; 1 Samuel 24:19ReciprocalGenesis 27:4 - that my; 27:14 - mother Verse 8Genesis 27:13, 25:23; Acts 4:19, 5:29; Ephesians 6:1ReciprocalGenesis 27:43 - obey; Mark 6:24 - said Verse 9twoJudges 13:15; 1 Samuel 16:20 savouryMatammim, from taam, to taste or relish: how dressed is uncertain, but its name declares it nature.

Verse 15goodly raimentHeb. desirable, Genesis 27:27
The Septuagint translates it "a goodly robe," which was a long garment that great men used to wear - Luke 20:46; 15:22. The priest afterwards in the law had "holy garments" to minister in - Exodus 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 - Genesis 27:27

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.
