39Then 1IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, 23away from the 4fertilityH8082 of the earthH776 shall be your dwellingH4186, And 5away from the dewH2919 of heavenH8064 from aboveH5921.40By your swordH2719 you shall liveH2421, And your brotherH251 6you shall serveH5647; But it shall comeH1961 about 7whenH3512 you becomeH7300 restlessH7300, That you will 8breakH6561 his yokeH5923 from your neckH6677.”

41So EsauH6215 9boreH7852 a grudgeH7852 againstH7852 JacobH3290 becauseH5921 of the blessingH1293 with whichH834 his fatherH1 had blessedH1288 him; and EsauH6215 saidH559 10to himselfH3820, “11The daysH3117 of mourningH60 for my fatherH1 are nearH7126; then I will killH2026 my brotherH251 JacobH3290.”
