야곱 족속은 불이 될 것이요 요셉 족속은 불꽃이 될 것이며 에서 족속은 초개가 될 것이라 그들이 그의 위에 붙어서 그를 사를 것인즉 에서 족속에 남은 자가 없으리니 이는 여호와께서 말씀하셨음이니라

이 구절의 의미

This verse says that God will use the people of Jacob and Joseph to defeat Esau completely, leaving nothing behind. It's like a fire burning everything in its path. The Lord is speaking here.

어린이를 위한 설명

Imagine you have two friends named Jacob and Joseph who are as strong as fire. They're going to burn away another friend called Esau until there's nothing left of him. This isn't about being mean, but it shows that sometimes we need to clean up completely.
