*
Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him .
Esau said in his heart , "
The days of mourning for my father are at hand .
Then I will kill my brother Jacob ."
*
The words of Esau ,
her elder son ,
were told to Rebekah .
She sent and called Jacob ,
her younger son ,
and said to him , "
Behold ,
your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you .
*
Now therefore ,
my son ,
obey my voice .
Arise ,
flee to Laban ,
my brother ,
in Haran .
*
Stay with him a few days ,
until your brother '
s fury turns away ;
*
until your brother '
s anger turn away from you ,
and he forgets what you have done to him .
Then I will send ,
and get you from there .
Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day ?"
*
Rebekah said to Isaac , "
I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth .
If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth ,
such as these ,
of the daughters of the land ,
what good will my life do me ?"
