Genesis 27:43

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?”

46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, ^a“I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; ^bif Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
