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?”

46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
