*
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him .
And Esau said in his heart : '
Let the days of mourning for my father be at hand ;
then will I slay my brother Jacob .'
*
And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah ;
and she sent and called Jacob her younger son ,
and said unto him : '
Behold ,
thy brother Esau ,
as touching thee ,
doth comfort himself ,
purposing to kill thee .
*
Now therefore ,
my son ,
hearken to my voice ;
and arise ,
flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran ;
*
and tarry with him a few days ,
until thy brother '
s fury turn away ;
*
until thy brother '
s anger turn away from thee ,
and he forget that which thou hast done to him ;
then I will send ,
and fetch thee from thence ;
why should I be bereaved 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 ,
of the daughters of the land ,
what good shall my life do me ?'
