זוהר בראשית — דף קמב ע”ב

The Zohar relates Rabbi Yehuda’s statement that the two kids allude to the two goats of Yom Kippur, one for the Lord and one for Azazel, and that the wine brought served to gladden Isaac. Esau’s garments are the garments from Adam that passed to Nimrod; Esau killed Nimrod and took them. When Jacob put them on they gave forth fragrance, since his beauty was the beauty of Adam. Rabbi Yose asks how this could be, and Rabbi Elazar answers that Adam’s beauty changed after his sin. “He smelled the scent of his garments” and “like the scent of a field” are explained through the field of apples. Rabbi Abba opens with the song of ascents, “In my distress I called to the Lord,” which Rabbi Elazar attributes to Jacob, fearing that his father would recognize him.
