- 以撒回答以扫说,我已立他为你的主,使他的弟兄都给他作仆人,并赐他五谷新酒可以养生。我儿,现在我还能为你作什么呢。
- 以扫对他父亲说,父阿,你只有一样可祝的福麽,我父阿,求你也为我祝福。以扫就放声而哭。
- 他父亲以撒说,地上的肥土必为你所住。天上的甘露必为你所得。

- Then Isaac his father answered and said to him, "Behold, away from the fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling, And away from the dew of heaven from above.
- "By your sword you shall live, And your brother you shall serve; But it shall come about when you become restless, That you will break his yoke from your neck."
