Genesis 27:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:25

And he said, bring [it] near to me
Being in a good measure satisfied that it must be Esau that was with him, he agreed that he should set his savoury meat before him he had prepared and brought to him: and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee;
this showed that as yet he had not blessed him, at least that the main and principal blessing was yet to come: and he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat;
set it on a table before him, and guided his hands to it, or fed him with it, and he made a meal of it: and he brought him wine, and he drank;
and so was comfortably refreshed, and in a good temper and disposition of mind to confer the blessing.

24 He asked, "Are you really my son 'Esav?"And he replied, "I am."

25 He said, "Bring it here to me, and I will eat my son's game, so that I can give you my blessing." So he brought it up to him, and he ate; he also brought him wine, and he drank.

26 Then his father Yitz'chak said to him,"Come close now, and kiss me, my son."

27 He approached and kissed him. Yitz'chak smelled his clothes and blessed Ya'akov with these words: "See, my son smells like a field which ADONAI has blessed.
