Gen. 27:40 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Gen. 27:39      Gen. 27:41

Genesis 27:40

By the help of (through) your sword you shall live [by plundering and robbing, see Amos 1:11], and you [Esau and your descendants—the Edomites] shall serve your brother [Jacob/Israel], and it shall come to pass when you break away (wandering around)
shaking his yoke from your neck."
[This anti-blessing is half as long as the one originally intended for the eldest son, see verses 28-29. The words here are reversed, cf. verse 39 with verse 28, where even the order of dew/fat is reversed to fat/dew. The words here become a prophecy about Esau's descendants, the Edomites. They try to break free during Solomon's reign, see 1 Kings 11:14–22. Their liberation comes in the revolt against King Jehoram, see 2 Kings 8:20–22; 2 Chron. 21:8–10.]
