Read in context

Genesis 27:41–45 · Berean Standard Bible

41 Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

42 When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.

43 So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.

44 Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—

45 until your brother’s rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
