39 His father Isaac answered him,

“Your dwelling will be

away from the earth’s richness,

away from the dew of heaven above.

40 You will live by the sword

and you will serve your brother.

But when you grow restless,

you will throw his yoke

from off your neck.”

39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him,

Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth,

And of the dew of heaven from above;

40 And by thy sword shalt thou live,

And shalt serve thy brother;

And it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion,

That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

39 Finally, his father, Isaac, said to him,

“You will live away from the richness of the earth,

and away from the dew of the heaven above.

40 You will live by your sword,

and you will serve your brother.

But when you decide to break free,

you will shake his yoke from your neck.”

39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:

“Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth,

And of the dew of heaven from above.

40 By your sword you shall live,

And you shall serve your brother;

And it shall come to pass, when you become restless,

That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

39 Isaac said to him,

“You will live far away from the best land,

far from the rain.

40 You will live by using your sword,

and you will be a slave to your brother.

But when you struggle,

you will break free from him.”

39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him,

Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be thy dwelling,

And of the dew of heaven from above.

40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and thou shalt serve thy brother;

And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt break loose,

That thou shalt shake his yoke from off thy neck.

39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above; 40 And by thy sword shalt thou live; And thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou rovest about, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

39 His father Isaac answered him, 

“The place where you live will lack the fertile fields of the earth 

and the dew from the sky above. 

40 You will use your sword to live, 

and you will serve your brother. 

But eventually you will gain your freedom 

and break his yokeoff your neck.” 

39 Then his father Isaac answered him:

Look, your dwelling place will be

away from the richness of the land,

away from the dew of the sky above.

40 You will live by your sword,

and you will serve your brother.

But when you rebel,

you will break his yoke from your neck.

39 Then his father Isaac answered him:

“See, away from the fatness of the earth shall your home be,

and away from the dew of heaven on high.

40 By your sword you shall live,

and you shall serve your brother;

but when you break loose,

you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him,

“Your home shall be from the fatness of the land,

and from the dew of heaven above.

40 But by your sword you shall live,

and you shall serve your brother.

But it shall be that when free yourself

you shall tear off his yoke from your neck.

39 His father Isaac answered him,

“You will live far away from the richness of the earth.

You will live far away from the dew of heaven above.

40 You will live by the sword.

And you will serve your brother.

But you will grow restless.

Then you will throw off the heavy load

he put on your shoulders.”

39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him,

“Behold, away from the fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling,

And away from the dew of heaven from above.

40 “By your sword you shall live,

And your brother you shall serve;

But it shall come about when you become restless,

That you will break his yoke from your neck.”
