And Isaac his father said unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said, I [am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
32. thy son, thy firstborn, Esau ] For this triple emphasis, cf. Gen 22:2. Esau answers, as if he were surprised that Isaac should have asked who he was, or possibly at the agitated manner of the questioner.

And Isaac his father said unto him, who [art] thou?…. Hearing another voice more like Esau’s than what he had heard before surprised him, and therefore in haste puts this question:
and he said, I [am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau; all which was true in a sense; he was his son, and he was Esau, and he was his firstborn by nature, but not by right, for he had sold his birthright.

‘And Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” And he said, “I am your son, your firstborn Esau.”
“Who are you?” Isaac’s mind is frozen with shock. He cannot believe what he is hearing. His previous mild suspicions now come back with full force.
Esau, completely unsuspicious makes the reply that he knows his father will expect. He is the firstborn, he is Esau. This gives away the fact that he knows that he is about to receive the firstborn’s blessing, that he knows he is seeking to take something of what he had sold to Jacob. He is conscious that he is about to receive one of the rights of the firstborn, that birthright that he has sold. We do not know how far the two would be seen as officially interconnecting, but we cannot doubt that they do. It may indeed be that Esau’s view is very different from Jacob’s. That what he had meant by the contract was far different from what Jacob had intended. For he had probably dismissed what had happened as some peculiarity of Jacob’s.
