Genesis 27:34-40

34When Esau heard the words of his father, 1he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, me as well, my father!” 35And he said, “2Your brother came deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.” 36Then Esau said, “3Is he not rightly named 45Jacob, for he has betrayed me these two times? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?” 37But Isaac replied to Esau, “Behold, I have made him 6your master, and I have given to him all his relatives 7as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?” 38Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me, me as well, my father.” So Esau raised his voice and 8wept.

39Then 9his father Isaac answered and said to him, “Behold, 1011away from the 12fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling, And 13away from the dew of heaven from above.40And by your sword you shall live, And 14you shall serve your brother; But it shall come about 15when you become restless, That you will 16break his yoke from your neck.”
