and all his brothers have I given to him for servants.
With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then
will I do for you, my son?"
027:038 Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father?
Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up
his voice, and wept.
027:039 Isaac his father answered him, "Behold, of the fatness of the earth
will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.
027:040 By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother.
It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall
shake his yoke from off your neck."
027:041 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father
blessed him. Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning
for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob."
027:042 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah.
She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said
to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you
by planning to kill you.
027:043 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban,
my brother, in Haran.
027:044 Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away;
027:045 until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forgets what
you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there.
Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"
027:046 Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of
the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters
of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land,
what good will my life do me?"
028:001 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You shall
not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
028:002 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your
mother's father. Take a wife from there from the daughters
of Laban, your mother's brother.
028:003 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you,
that you may be a company of peoples,
028:004 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed
with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel,
which God gave to Abraham."
028:005 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of
Bethuel the Syrian, Rebekah's brother, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
028:006 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away
to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as
he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, "You shall not
take a wife of the daughters of Canaan,"
028:007 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone
to Paddan Aram.
028:008 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn't please Isaac,
his father.
028:009 Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had,
