Genesis 27:41-46
41So Esau 1held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him; and Esau said 2to himself, “3The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.” 42Now when the words of her elder son Esau were reported to Rebekah, she sent word and called her younger son Jacob, and said to him, “Behold your brother Esau is consoling himself concerning you by planning to kill you. 43Now then, my son, 4obey my voice, and arise, 5flee to 6Haran, to my brother 7Laban! 44Stay with him 8a few days, until your brother’s fury 9subsides, 45until your brother’s anger 10against you subsides and he forgets 11what you did to him. Then I will send word and get you from there. Why should I lose you both in one day?”
46And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am tired of 12living because of 13the daughters of Heth; 14if Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth like these from the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
