12<\/strong>. will feel me<\/em> ] Isaac’s sight was no longer good enough to distinguish between his sons; but the sense of touch would remove all doubt.<\/p>\n a deceiver<\/em> ] Better, as R.V. marg., a mocker<\/em>. LXX , “a profane trifler,” one who treats in a contemptuous way the solemn religious blessing of his father. A rare Heb. word, rendered “scoff,” 2Ch 36:16<\/span>.<\/p>\n a curse<\/em> ] Jacob apprehends that his profanity will be visited by a solemn religious denunciation. If so, he will be a loser, not a gainer, by the trick. The thought of risk, not the deception, troubles him.<\/p>\n Verse 12<\/span>. I shall bring a curse upon me<\/B><\/I>] For even in those early times the spirit<\/I> of that law was understood, De 27:18<\/span>: Cursed is he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way<\/I>; and Jacob seems to have possessed at this time a more tender conscience than his mother.<\/P><\/p>\n I shall appear to him to be indeed a deceiver, one that abuseth his age and blindness. The particle as<\/I> sometimes signifies not the likeness, but the truth of the thing, Joh 1:14<\/span>; 2Co 3:18<\/span>. <\/P> I shall bring a curse upon me, <\/B>which is due to every one that deceiveth the blind, Deu 27:18<\/span>, especially his father, and especially in a religious concern, Jer 48:10<\/span>; Mal 1:14<\/span>, such as this was. <\/P> <\/p>\n My father peradventure will feel me<\/strong>,…. For, though he could not see him, and so discern whether he had any hair or no on him, yet, suspecting him by his voice, he might call him to him to feel him, as he did; for Jacob understood his mother right, that he was to represent his brother Esau in the transaction of this affair:<\/p>\n and I shall seem to him as a deceiver<\/strong>; one that imposes upon another and causes him to err, leads him to say or do wrong things: and not only appear as one, but be really one, and even a very great one, as the doubling of the radical letters in the word shows; yea, the worst of deceivers, a deceiver of a parent, of one that was both aged and blind:<\/p>\n and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing<\/strong>; and he might justly fear, that should he be found out, it would so provoke his father, that instead of blessing him, he would curse him, see<\/p>\n De 27:18<\/span>.<\/p>\n 12<\/strong>. <\/strong> I shall seem to him as a deceiver <\/strong> Jacob is cautious and far-sighted; but his words show that he shrinks not from the proposed deception from a feeling that it would be wrong, but only from a fear of detection and a curse<\/strong>. Rebekah has no fear in this regard. Even if detected, she is willing to risk any curse <\/strong> likely to come from one who deliberately attempts to subvert prophecy. She looks at the end to be attained, and scruples not at the means to attain it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Gen 27:12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ver. 12. My father peradventure will feel me.<\/strong> ] Our heavenly Father will certainly feel us, and better feel us; and we shall feel him too, in his fatherly corrections, before he bless us. Suffer we must, or ere we reign: no coming to the crown, but by the cross. Christ himself was “perfected by sufferings”; Heb 2:10<\/span> ; <\/em> Heb 5:9 and we must be “conformed to his image”. Rom 8:29 When Ignatius came to the wild beasts, Now, saith he, I begin to be a Christian. Qui non eat Crucianus, non est Christianus,<\/em> saith Luther, on the 29th of Genesis: and in another place, I have no stronger argument, saith he, against the Pope’s kingdom, than this, that he reigneth without the cross. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And I shall seem to him as a deceiver.<\/strong> ] So shall all complimenting hypocrites to God, that pretend his service to their wicked or worldly ends and aims. They think, belike, to deceive him; a<\/em> but therein they are fairly deceived, for he searcheth the hearts; and bring a curse, instead of a blessing, upon themselves and their posterity. “The hypocrite in heart heaps up wrath”. Job 36:13 Nemo enim magis; ram meretur,<\/em> saith a father, b<\/em> quam amicum simulans inimicus . Where shall we read of a hypocrite received to mercy? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Sapiens nummularius Deus est: nummum fictum non recipiet.<\/em> – Bern,<\/em> <\/p>\n b<\/em> Bern.<\/p>\n seem.
