Kejadian 27:16

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

Kejadian 35:21

35:21 Then Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder. ³ 

[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.”

[35:21]  ³ sn The location of Migdal Eder is not given. It appears to be somewhere between Bethlehem and Hebron. Various traditions have identified it as at the shepherds’ fields near Bethlehem (the Hebrew name Migdal Eder means “tower of the flock”; see Mic 4:8) or located it near Solomon’s pools.
