And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, etc.] Being timorous lest he should do an ill thing, and be accounted a deceiver, and bring a curse upon himself: behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man; covered all over with hair; as with a hairy garment; so he was born, and so he continued, and no doubt his hair increased, (<012525>Genesis 25:25): and I [am] a smooth man: without hair, excepting in those parts where it is common for all men to have it.
