Context of Genesis 27:24
22So Jacob came closer to his father Isaac, and he felt him. Then he said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice but the hands are Esau’s hands.” 23He did not recognize him because his hands were like the hairy hands of his brother Esau. So he blessed him. But he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” So he said, “I am.” 25Then he said, “Bring it to me and I’ll eat some of my son’s wild game, so that my soul may bless you.” So he brought it to him and he ate, and he brought him wine and he drank. 26Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come closer and kiss me my son.”

The disguise, though wanting in one thing, which had nearly upset the whole plot, succeeded in misleading Isaac; and while giving his paternal embrace, the old man was roused into a state of high satisfaction and delight.Read the comment
