Kabbalah zu Bereschit 27:23
וְלֹ֣א הִכִּיר֔וֹ כִּֽי־הָי֣וּ יָדָ֗יו כִּידֵ֛י עֵשָׂ֥ו אָחִ֖יו שְׂעִרֹ֑ת וַֽיְבָרְכֵֽהוּ׃
Und er erkannte ihn nicht, weil seine Hände behaart waren wie die seines Bruders Esau, und so segnete er ihn denn.
Zohar
Rabbi Elazar said, It was Jacob who sang this song, when his father said to him, "Come near, I pray you, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not" (Beresheet 27:21). Then was Jacob in great distress, for he feared that his father will recognize and know him. Then it is written, "and he recognized him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands, so he blessed him" (Beresheet 27: 23). So he said, "In my distress I cried to Hashem, and He heard me."
