Expanded Bible

³⁸But Esau ·continued [^Lsaid to his father], “Do you have only one blessing, Father? Bless me, too, Father!” Then Esau ·began to cry out loud [^Llifted his voice and wept; Heb. 12:17].

³⁹Isaac his father said to him,

“You will live far away from the ·best [fatness; richness; fertility of the] land,
    far from the ·rain [^Lthe dew of heaven; 27:28].
⁴⁰You will live by using your sword,
    and you will ·be a slave to [serve] your brother.
But when you ·struggle [or become restless],
    you will break ·free from him [^Lhis yoke from your neck; Heb. 11:20].”
