Responsa zu Bereschit 27:33
וַיֶּחֱרַ֨ד יִצְחָ֣ק חֲרָדָה֮ גְּדֹלָ֣ה עַד־מְאֹד֒ וַיֹּ֡אמֶר מִֽי־אֵפ֡וֹא ה֣וּא הַצָּֽד־צַיִד֩ וַיָּ֨בֵא לִ֜י וָאֹכַ֥ל מִכֹּ֛ל בְּטֶ֥רֶם תָּב֖וֹא וָאֲבָרֲכֵ֑הוּ גַּם־בָּר֖וּךְ יִהְיֶֽה׃
Da erfasste Isaak ein ungeheurer Schrecken, und er sprach: Wer war denn jener, der ein Wild erjagt und mir gebracht hat, so dass ich von allem aß, bevor du kamst, und ihn gesegnet habe? Er soll auch gesegnet bleiben!
Shut min haShamayim
They answered:"Reason is not with the aged, and counsel is not with the young." (Shabbat 89b:4) "For Abraham knows us not, Israel does not recognise us" (Isaiah 63:16), rather "my covenant will be made with Isaac." (Genesis 17:21), "I have singled him out," (Isaiah 51:2) "and will give him the birthright," (Psalms 89:28) "and he shall be blessed." (Genesis 27:33)*These verses seem to support Isaac, i.e, R. Isaac Alfasi, over the Abraham and Jacob, perhaps referring to Rabbeinu Tam.
