Genesis 27:41-46

41And EsauH6215 hated JacobH3290 because of the blessingH1293 wherewith his fatherH1 blessedH1288 him: and EsauH6215 saidH559 in his heartH3820, The daysH3117 of mourningH60 for my fatherH1 are at hand; then will I slayH2026 my brotherH251 JacobH3290. 42And the wordsH1697 of EsauH6215 her elder sonH1121 were toldH5046 to RebekahH7259; and she sentH7971 and calledH7121 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy brotherH251 EsauH6215, as touching thee, doth comfortH5162 himself, purposing to killH2026 thee. 43NowH6258 thereforeH6258, my sonH1121, obey my voiceH6963; and ariseH6965, fleeH1272 thou to LabanH3837 my brotherH251 to HaranH2771; 44and tarry with him a few daysH3117, until thy brother’sH251 fury turnH7725 awayH7725; 45until thy brother’sH251 angerH639 turnH7725 awayH7971 from thee, and he forgetH7911 that which thou hast done to him: then I will sendH7971, and fetch thee from thence: whyH4100 should I be bereavedH7921 of you both in oneH259 dayH3117?

46And RebekahH7259 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, I am weary of my lifeH2416 because of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845: if JacobH3290 takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845, such as these, of the daughtersH1323 of the landH776, what good shall my lifeH2416 do me?
