Genesis 27:38-40
GOD’S WORD Translation
38 Esau asked, “Do you have only one blessing, Father? Bless me too, Father!” And Esau sobbed loudly.
39 His father Isaac answered him,
“The place where you live will lack the fertile fields of the earth
and the dew from the sky above.
40 You will use your sword to live,
and you will serve your brother.
But eventually you will gain your freedom
and break his yoke [a] off your neck.”
