Genesis 27:23 - Bringing good out of evil.

And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
Through the providence of God, this deception (Genesis 27:16) was part of the divine plan (Job 12:16) to preserve Abraham's seed for Esau had sold his birthright and had married strange wives (Genesis 25:34; 26:34). In addition, the LORD told Rebekah that Esau shall serve Jacob, Genesis 25:23.
