SYNOPSIS:

Rabbi Shimon says that when Jacob entered before his father, the scent of the Garden of Eden went in with him, and that the clothes he wore belonged to Adam. He asks what happened to the clothes of Eve, and in what clothing Adam and Eve were buried. He answers himself by saying that, when they left, they threw off the supernal splendor with which God had clothed them. We learn that as soon as God was clothed, as in "Who covers Himself with light as with a garment," He created the world. The question arises of how Isaac knew about "the smell of a field that Hashem has blessed." Rabbi Shimon explains that the field in "And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening time" was the field near the cave of the Machpelah, and that Jacob saw the Shechinah on it, and it raised supernal holy scents. The conclusion Rabbi Shimon draws is that Isaac blessed Jacob because Isaac did not attribute the scent to the clothes at all; he attributed it to Jacob himself because he saw that he was worthy and deserving of his blessing. The rabbis then talk about the tenth day of the seventh month, Yom Kippur, and the sacrifice of the lamb. We are reminded that Yisrael does an action below, and God does the action above.

Pasook 148. from the Zohar Sulam Commentary on Parasha Bo

פָּתַח וְאָמַר, וַיָּרַח אֶת רֵיחַ בְּגָדָיו וַיְבָרֲכֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר רְאֵה רֵיחַ בְּנִי וְגוֹ,' וַיָּרַח אֶת רֵיחַ בְּגָדָיו, מַשְׁמַע דְּאִינּוּן לְבוּשִׁין הֲווֹ סַלְּקִין רֵיחָא טָבָא, דְּלָא אִתְעָדֵי מִנְּהוֹן הַהוּא רֵיחָא. הַשְׁתָּא אִית לְאִסְתַּכְּלָא, כְּתִיב, רֵיחַ בְּגָדָיו, וּכְתִיב רֵיחַ בְּנִי, וְלָא אָמַר רֵיחַ הַבְּגָדִים, אֶלָּא רֵיחַ בְּנִי. אֶלָּא תָּאנָא, כֵּיוָן שֶׁנִּכְנָס יַעֲקֹב, נִכְנַס עִמּוֹ ג"ע. וְתָאנָא, אוֹתָן הַבְּגָדִים הָיוּ שֶׁל אָדָם הָרִאשׁוֹן, דִּכְתִּיב, וַיַּעַש יְיָ' אֱלֹהִים לְאָדָם וּלְאִשְׁתּוֹ כָּתְנוֹת עוֹר וַיַּלְבִּישֵׁם, וְהוֹצִיאָם מג"ע.

Translation

He opened the discussion, saying: "And he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, 'See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field which Hashem has blessed'" (Beresheet 27:27). "And he smelled the smell of his garments" means that the garments emitted a pleasant scent that had never left them. Now we should examine this closely; it is written, "The smell of his garments," and, "The smell of my son." It does not say, 'The smell of the garments, but rather "the smell of my son." HE ANSWERS, But we learned that when Jacob entered the Garden of Eden entered with him, and we learned that those garments belonged to Adam, as it is written, "For the man also and for his wife did Hashem Elohim make coats of skins, and clothed them" (Beresheet 3:21), and He took them out from the Garden of Eden.

chanoch's Commentary

This pasuk is clear as written, with Rabbi Ashlag's comments. Is Isaac judging Jacob based on his external appearance? Or his internal essence?
