GENESIS 27

Jacob fled from Esau

41 So, because his father had given a blessing to Jacob, and not to him, Esau hated his younger brother. Esau thought to himself, "After my father dies and we finish mourning for him, I will kill Jacob!" 42 But Rebekah found out what her older son, Esau, was thinking. So she summoned her younger son, Jacob, and said to him, "Listen to me. Your older brother, Esau, is comforting himself by planning to kill you, to get revenge because of your deceiving your father. 43 So now, my son, listen carefully to what I am telling you. Escape quickly and go and stay with my brother Laban, in Haran town. 44 Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry. 45 When he forgets what you did to him, I will send a message to you, to tell you to return from there. If Esau kills you, others will kill him, and then both my sons would die at the same time!" [RHQ]
