Esau: 38 Have you only one blessing, Father? Bless me—me also—Father!

Esau realized the futility of his pleas. He raised his voice, and he cried pitiably. 39 Isaac spoke over him the only blessing he thought he could:

Isaac: You will make your home far from the richness of the earth,

        and you will serve your brother.
    But when you grow restless to be free,
        you will break his yoke from your neck.
