39Isaac said to him,

“You will live far away from the best land,

far from the rain.

40You 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.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:

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

and away from the dew of heaven on high.

By your sword you shall live,

and you shall serve your brother;

but when you grow restless

you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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

and you will serve your brother.

But when you grow restless,

you will throw his yoke

from off your neck.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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.

You will live by your sword,

and you will serve your brother.

But when you rebel,

you will break his yoke from your neck.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

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.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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

and from the dew of heaven above.

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

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 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.
