goodly raiment.

1 Mosebok 27:27
Da gikk han frem og kysset ham; og han kjente lukten av hans klær og velsignet ham og sa: Se, duften av min sønn er som duften av en mark som Herren har velsignet.

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 Mosebok 28:2-4
Gjør dig rede og dra til Mesopotamia, til din morfar Betuels hus, og hent dig en hustru derfra, en av din morbror Labans døtre! …

.) 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.'
