Abraham and Isaac food for thought: The father offering his only son! Reply
Did Ytzchak recognize Yaakov? Once more a very interesting and insightful lecture. Rabbi Epstein mentions that Ytzchak new which son approached him first because he recognized Yaakov by his voice. His question "who is it" in 27:18 was ment to encourage and push Yaakov since posing as another person was difficult for him. But why would Ytzchak then be surprised in 27:33 when talking to the real Esaw? Or did Ytzchak "fake" his surprise? What reasons would he have for this? I am interested in your comments.
