38 Eʹsau said to his father: “Is there just one blessing that you have, my father? Bless me, yes, me too, my father!” With that Eʹsau cried loudly and burst into tears.+ 39 So his father Isaac answered him:

“See, away from the fertile soils of the earth your dwelling will be, and away from the dew of the heavens above.+ 40 And by your sword you will live,+ and you will serve your brother.+ But when you grow restless, you will indeed break his yoke off your neck.”+
