His father Isaac answered him,
“Your dwelling will be
away from the earth’s richness,
away from the dew of heaven above.
You will live by the sword

from off your neck.”

Look, your dwelling place will be

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;

And it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion,
That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
