37Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?” 38Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. 39Isaac his father answered him,“Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth,and of the dew of the sky from above. 40You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother.It will happen, when you will break loose,that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.” 41Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
