Genesis 27:37-40

37But Isaac replied to Esau, “Behold, I have made him 1your master, and I have given to him all his relatives 2as 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 3wept.

39Then 4his father Isaac answered and said to him, “Behold, 56away from the 7fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling, And 8away from the dew of heaven from above.40And by your sword you shall live, And 9you shall serve your brother; But it shall come about 10when you become restless, That you will 11break his yoke from your neck.”
