goodly raiment.

1.Mose 27:27
Er trat hinzu und küßte ihn. Da roch er den Geruch seiner Kleider und segnete ihn und sprach: Siehe, der Geruch meines Sohnes ist wie ein Geruch des Feldes, das der HERR gesegnet hat.

The Septuagint translates it 'a goodly robe,' which was a long garment that great men used to wear, (Lu.

20:46;

15:22.) The priest afterwards in the law had 'holy garments' to minister in, (Ex.

1.Mose 28:2-4
sondern mache dich auf und ziehe nach Mesopotamien zum Hause Bethuels, des Vaters deiner Mutter, und nimm dir ein Weib daselbst von den Töchtern Labans, des Bruders deiner Mutter.…

.) Whether the first-born before the law had such to minister in is not certain: for, had they been common garments, why did not Esau himself or his wives keep them? But being, in likelihood, holy robes, received from their ancestors, the mother of the family kept them in sweet chests, from moths and the like; whereupon it is said, (ver.

27,) 'Isaac smelled the smell of his garments.'
