1First, she used deceit and fraud to convey the blessing unto Jacob, and sought rather to hook it to him by a fleshly device, then to compass it by a convenient and lawful way. You shall read the Story Gen. 27.1. and 17. She knew her husband was blind, therefore she spake to Jacob to get the blessing by a cunning device, she sends for a Kid, makes such a dish as was pleasing to Isaacs palate, uses means to make his hands and neck seem rough, like unto Esau's, by covering them with the skins of the Kids as handsomely as she could, and so sends him in to Isaac, having before emboldened him to say, though falsely, that he was Esau the eldest Son. This was a sin in her, the matter of it was fraud and falsehood, the aggravations of it were, first, she drew Jacob into the sin of lying and shifting, even contrary to his own temper, for the Scripture witnesseth of him, that He was a plain man.
