Genesis 27:29
New King James Version
29 (A)Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And (B)let your mother’s sons bow down to you.
(C)Cursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”
Genesis 27:37-40
New King James Version
37 Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, (A)“Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with (B)grain and wine I have [a]sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?”
38 And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice (C)and wept.
39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
“Behold, (D)your dwelling shall be of the [b]fatness of the earth,
And of the dew of heaven from above.
40 By your sword you shall live,
And (E)you shall serve your brother;
And (F)it shall come to pass, when you become restless,
That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
