Genesis 27:39-41
Expanded Bible
39 Isaac his father said to him,
“You will live far away from the ·best [fatness; richness; fertility of the] land,
far from the ·rain [L the dew of heaven; 27:28].
40 You 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 [L his yoke from your neck; Heb. 11:20].”
41 After that Esau ·hated [held a grudge against] Jacob because of the blessing ·from Isaac [L with which his father blessed him]. He thought ·to himself [L in his heart], “·My father will soon die, and I will be sad for him [L The days of mourning for my father are near]. Then I will kill Jacob [L my brother].”
