To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the (G)kingdom will be the Lord’s.

and those of the western foothills, the land of the Philistines;
they will possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria,
and Benjamin will possess Gilead.

will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath;

to rule Mount Esau,
