38 But Esau continued to beg his father. “Do you have only one blessing, father? Bless me also, father!” Esau began to cry.
39 Then Isaac said to him, “You will not live on good land. You will not have much rain.
40 You will have to fight to live, and you will be a slave to your brother. But when you fight to be free, you will break away from his control.”
41 After that Esau hated Jacob because of this blessing. Esau said to himself, “My father will soon die, and after we are finished with that, I will kill Jacob.”
42 Rebekah heard about Esau’s plan to kill Jacob. She sent for Jacob and said to him, “Listen, your brother Esau is planning to kill you.
43 So, son, do what I say. My brother Laban is living in Haran. Go to him and hide.
44 Stay with him for a short time until your brother stops being angry.
