Answer Details
"Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you" is a statement made by Isaac. In the Bible, Isaac is the son of Abraham and the father of Jacob. When Isaac was old and blind, he wanted to give his blessing to his firstborn son Esau. However, Jacob, with the help of his mother Rebekah, tricked Isaac into giving him the blessing instead. As a result, Esau was angry and vowed to kill Jacob. To protect Jacob, Rebekah sent him away to her brother Laban's house. On the way, Jacob had a dream in which God appeared to him and reaffirmed the promises that he had made to Abraham and Isaac. In this dream, God said to Jacob, "Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you" (Genesis 27:29, NRSV). This promise was part of the covenant that God had made with Abraham and Isaac, and it was eventually fulfilled when Jacob became the father of the twelve tribes of Israel.
