*
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him :
and Esau said in his heart ,
The days of mourning for my father are at hand ;
then will I slay my brother Jacob .
*
And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah :
and she sent and called Jacob her younger son ,
and said to him ,
Behold ,
your brother Esau ,
as touching you ,
does comfort himself ,
purposing to kill you .
*
Now therefore ,
my son ,
obey my voice ;
arise ,
flee you to Laban my brother to Haran ;
*
And tarry with him a few days ,
until your brother '
fury turn away ;
*
Until your brother '
anger turn away from you ,
and he forget that which you have done to him :
then I will send ,
and fetch you from there :
why should I be deprived also of you both in one day ?
*
And Rebekah said to Isaac ,
I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth :
if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth ,
such as these which are of the daughters of the land ,
what good shall my life do me ?
