“The scent of my son [Esau]
Is like the aroma of a field which the Lord has blessed;
²⁸ 
Now may God give you of the dew of heaven [to water your land],
And of the fatness (fertility) of the earth,
And an abundance of grain and ^[a]new wine;^(A)
29 
May peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you;
Be lord and master over your brothers,
And may your mother’s sons bow down to you.
May those who curse you be cursed,
And may those who bless you be blessed.”

“Your dwelling shall be away from the fertility of the earth
And away from the dew of heaven above;
⁴⁰ 
But you shall live by your sword,
And serve your brother;
However it shall come to pass when you break loose [from your anger and hatred],
That you will tear his yoke off your neck [and you will be free of him].”
