What then can I do for you, my son?” 38 Esau 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 (B)wept.

39 Then (C)his father Isaac answered and said to him,

“Behold, [b](D)away from the [c]fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling,
And [d]away from the dew of heaven from above.
40 And by your sword you shall live,
And (E)you shall serve your brother;
But it shall come about (F)when you become restless,
That you will [e]break his yoke from your neck.”

17 I see him, but not now;
I look at him, but not near;
A star shall appear from Jacob,
(A)A scepter shall rise from Israel,
(B)And shall smash the [a]forehead of Moab,
And overcome all the sons of Sheth.

(D)Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession,
While Israel performs valiantly.
