Genesis 27:41 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 27:41

39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
“Behold, ^ayour dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth,
And of the dew of heaven from above.

40 By your sword you shall live,
And ^ayou shall serve your brother;
And ^bit shall come to pass, when you become restless,
That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

Jacob Escapes from Esau

41 So Esau ^ahated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, ^b“The days of mourning for my father¹ are at hand; ^cthen I will kill my brother Jacob.”

42 And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, “Surely your brother Esau ^acomforts himself concerning you by intending to kill you.

43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice: arise, flee to my brother Laban ^ain Haran.

44 And stay with him a ^afew days, until your brother’s fury turns away,

45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I be bereaved also of you both in one day?”
