Genesis 27:15
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:

goodly raiment.

Genesis 27:27 He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord hath blessed.

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.

Genesis 28:2-4 But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel, thy mother's father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban, thy uncle. . . .

.) 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.'
