Und er kannte ihn nicht; denn seine Hände waren rauh wie Esaus, seines Bruders, Hände. Und er segnete ihn
Y no le conoció, porque sus manos eran vellosas como las manos de Esaú: y le bendijo.
No lo reconoció, porque sus manos eran velludas como las de Esaú, su hermano, y lo bendijo.
Il ne le reconnut pas, parce que ses mains étaient velues, comme les mains d'Esaü, son frère; et il le bénit.
E nol riconobbe; perciocchè le sue mani erano pelose, come le mani di Esaù, suo fratello; e lo benedisse.
E não o conheceu, porquanto as suas mãos estavam cabeludas, como as mãos de Esaú seu irmão; e abençoou-o.
以撒 認不出他來,因為他手上有毛,像他哥哥 以掃 的手一樣。於是, 以撒 就為他祝福。
