38 Esau said to his father, 'Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.' Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 Isaac his father answered him, 'Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.
40 By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, That you shall shake his yoke from off your neck.'
41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, 'The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.'
