Jacob came to Isaac

In some languages it might be more natural to say, “Jacob went to Isaac.”

When Isaac felt the goat hair and smelled the clothes, he thought it was Esau and blessed him.

This is a sequential clause. The word “When” connects Isaac feeling and smelling Jacob with the resulting action—he believed it was Esau and blessed him. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-time-sequential)

he thought it was Esau

He thought that the person he was touching and smelling was Esau.
