And these words of Esau her
eldest son, were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Iacob
her youngest son, and said unto him: behold thy brother Esau
threateneth to kill thee: Now therefore my son hear my voice, make
thee ready, and flee to Laban my brother at Haran: And tarry with
him a while, until thy brother's fierceness be swaged, and until
thy brother's wrath turn away from thee, and he forget that which
thou hast done to him. Then will I send and fetch thee away from
thence. Why should I lose you both in one day? And Rebecca spake
to Isaac: I am weary of my life, for fear of the daughters of
Heth. If Iacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such one as
these are, or of the daughters of the land, what lust should I
have to live?
Chapter .xxviij.
Then Isaac called Iacob his son and blessed him, and charged him
and said unto him: see thou take not a wife of the daughters of
Canaan, but arise and get thee to Mesopotamia to the house of
Bethuel thy mother's father: and there take thee a wife of the
daughters of Laban thy mother's brother. And God almighty bless
thee, increase thee, and multiply thee that thou mayest be a
number of people, and give thee the blessing of Abraham: both to
thee and to thy seed with thee, that thou mayest possess the land
(wherein thou art a stranger) which God gave unto Abraham.
