Genesis 27:40 in Context — Genesis 27
38 E Esaú respondeu a seu pai: Não tens mais que uma só bênção, meu pai? Abençoa também a mim, meu pai. E levantou Esaú sua voz, e chorou.
39 Então Isaque seu pai falou e disse-lhe: Eis que será tua habitação sem gorduras da terra, E sem orvalho dos céus de acima;
40 E por tua espada viverás, e a teu irmão servirás: E sucederá quando te dominares, Que descarregarás seu jugo de teu pescoço.
41 E odiou Esaú a Jacó pela bênção com que lhe havia abençoado, e disse em seu coração: Chegarão os dias do luto de meu pai, e eu matarei a Jacó meu irmão.
42 E foram ditas a Rebeca as palavras de Esaú seu filho mais velho: e ela enviou e chamou a Jacó seu filho mais novo, e disse-lhe: Eis que, Esaú teu irmão se consola acerca de ti com a ideia de matar-te.
