1When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called his elder son Esau and said to him, “My son,” and he answered, “Here I am.”

6Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “I heard your father say to your brother Esau,
7‘Bring me game, and prepare for me savory food to eat, that I may bless you before the Lord before I die.’
8 For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and look, now he has taken away my blessing.” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
37
you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
Jacob Escapes Esau’s Fury41 Gen 32.3–11 Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42But the words of her elder son Esau were told to Rebekah, so she sent and called her younger son Jacob and said to him, “Your brother Esau is consoling himself by planning to kill you.
43vv 8, 13; Gen 24.29Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran,
44and stay with him a while, until your brother’s fury turns away—
45until your brother’s anger against you turns away, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46 Gen 26.34, 35 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women such as these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
