Genesis 27:16

27:16 She put the skins of the young goats ¹  on his hands ²  and the smooth part of his neck.

[27:16]  ¹ tn In the Hebrew text the object (“the skins of the young goats”) precedes the verb. The disjunctive clause draws attention to this key element in the subterfuge.

[27:16]  ² tn The word “hands” probably includes the forearms here. How the skins were attached is not specified in the Hebrew text; cf. NLT “she made him a pair of gloves.”
