41 From then on Esau hated Jacob because of his father’s blessing. Esau said to himself, "Soon the time will come when I’ll mourn my father’s death. Then I’ll kill my brother Jacob!"
42 However, Rebekah found out what Esau was saying, so she sent for Jacob. "Look," she told him, "your brother Esau is making himself feel better by making plans to kill you. 43 So, my son, listen carefully to what I tell you. Leave immediately and go to my brother Laban in Haran. 44 Stay with him for a while until your brother’s anger cools down. 45 Once he’s cooled down and forgets what you did to him, I’ll send for you to come back. Why should I lose both of you in a single day?"
