27:39So his father Isaac said to him,
“Indeed,74 your home will be
away from the richness75 of the earth,
and away from the dew of the sky above.
27:40You will live by your sword
but you will serve your brother.
When you grow restless,
you will tear off his yoke
from your neck.”76
Footnotes
- 74 Heb “look.”
- 75 Heb “from the fatness.”
- 76 You will tear off his yoke from your neck. It may be that this prophetic blessing found its fulfillment when Jerusalem fell and Edom got its revenge. The oracle makes Edom subservient to Israel and suggests the Edomites would live away from the best land and be forced to sustain themselves by violent measures.

“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;

you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

But when you grow restless,
you will throw his yoke
from off your neck.”

Look, your dwelling place will be
away from the richness of the land,

Finally, his father, Isaac, said to him,
“You will live away from the richness of the earth,

But when you decide to break free,
you will shake his yoke from your neck.”

you shall tear off his yoke from your neck.

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.
