hairy man.
Gen. 25:25• 25And the first came out red--all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. (Gen. 25:25)
• Even Jacob felt and expressed his qualms, lest the deceit of his mother which he was about to practice should elicit a curse, instead of a blessing from his father. But Rebekah's will was too much committed to her device; and she displayed no little aptitude in guarding her son from the danger he anticipated. In neither do we find conscience at work, still less any reckoning on God's gracious power to bring to naught the carnal design of Isaac to bestow that title to the blessing of Jehovah which Jacob truly valued, and Esau made of less account than one mess of food. (“Isaac: 28. Rebekah's Advice: Genesis 27:6-17” by W. Kelly)
