Jakob bedriegt Isaak
27 Isaak werd op zijn oude dag half blind. Op een dag riep hij zijn oudste zoon Esau bij zich. ‘Mijn zoon,’ zei Isaak, 2-4 ‘ik ben al oud en elke dag kan mijn laatste zijn. Neem je boog en je pijlen en schiet een stuk wild voor mij. Maak het dan voor me klaar, zoals ik het graag lust en breng het hier, zodat ik ervan kan eten. Daarna zal ik je als mijn oudste zoon zegenen nog vóór ik sterf.’
5 Maar Rebekka had het gesprek afgeluisterd en toen Esau het veld inging, 6,7 riep zij Jakob en vertelde hem wat zijn vader tegen zijn broer had gezegd. 8-10 Rebekka gaf Jakob de raad: ‘Ga naar de kudde en breng twee jonge geiten hier. Dan zal ik het lievelingsgerecht van je vader klaarmaken. Jij moet hem dat brengen en als hij ervan heeft genoten, zal hij jou voor zijn dood zegenen in plaats van Esau!’ Maar Jakob protesteerde: ‘Maar moeder, vader laat zich heus niet zo gemakkelijk bedriegen. 11,12 Esau is behaard en ik heb een gladde huid. Stel dat vader zijn hand op mijn arm legt? Hij zal denken dat ik hem voor de gek wil houden en me vervloeken in plaats van zegenen!’ 13 Maar Rebekka stelde hem gerust. ‘Ik zal zijn vervloeking op mij nemen, jongen,’ zei zij. ‘Doe jij nu maar wat ik heb gezegd. Ga die geiten halen!’
14 Jakob deed wat zijn moeder hem had opgedragen en bracht haar de geiten, die zij klaarmaakte op de manier die Isaak het lekkerste vond. 15 Toen haalde ze Esauʼs beste kleren voor de dag—die lagen daar in huis—en liet Jakob die aantrekken. 16 Van de harige huid van de geiten maakte ze twee handschoenen en een reep van de huid bond ze om Jakobs gladde hals. 17 Toen gaf ze hem de schaal met het heerlijk ruikende vlees en wat versgebakken brood. 18 Jakob ging de tent in waar zijn vader lag en antwoordde op Isaaks vraag, wie daar was: 19 ‘Ik ben Esau, uw oudste zoon. Ik heb gedaan wat u mij hebt gevraagd. Hier is het gerecht dat u graag wilde hebben. Ga even rechtop zitten en eet het, zodat u mij kunt zegenen.’ 20 En Isaak vroeg: ‘Hoe heb je dat zo snel voor elkaar gekregen, jongen?’ Jakob antwoordde daarop: ‘De Here, uw God heeft mij geholpen!’ 21-23 Isaak liet Jakob bij zich komen en betastte hem. ‘De stem is van Jakob, maar de handen zijn van Esau,’ zei hij bij zichzelf. 24 Nogmaals vroeg Isaak hem of hij werkelijk Esau was, waarop Jakob weer bevestigend antwoordde. 25 Toen was Isaak overtuigd en hij at van het gerecht en dronk de wijn, die Jakob ook had meegebracht. 26 ‘Kom hier en kus me, mijn zoon,’ vroeg Isaak na het eten. 27 Jakob kuste hem en Isaak rook de geur van zijn kleren en was toen helemaal overtuigd. En hij gaf Jakob zijn zegen met de woorden: ‘De geur van mijn zoon is de goede geur van de aarde en het open veld, dat de Here heeft gezegend. 28 Moge God je altijd genoeg regen voor je oogst, voor je koren en voor je wijnranken geven. 29 Vele volken zullen zich aan je onderwerpen. Heers over je broeders. Je broers zullen voor je buigen. Vervloekt zijn zij die jou vervloeken en gezegend zijn zij die jou zegenen.’
30 Na die zegen, toen Jakob nog maar net de tent van zijn vader had verlaten, kwam Esau terug van de jacht. 31 Hij maakte zijn vaders lievelingsgerecht klaar en ging ermee naar de tent. 32 Maar toen hij binnenkwam en zijn vader het eten aanbood, vroeg die bevreemd: ‘Wie is daar?’ Esau zei dat hij het was en Isaak schrok zichtbaar. 33 ‘Maar wie is hier dan net geweest met wildbraad, waarvan ik heb gegeten?’ vroeg hij zich verontrust af. 34 Esau begon te klagen: ‘Och, vader, zegen mij, zegen mij ook!’ 35 Maar Isaaks antwoord was onverbiddelijk. ‘Je broer was hier en heeft mij bedrogen. Hij heeft jouw zegen weggenomen.’ 36 Esau reageerde verbitterd. ‘Geen wonder dat ze hem de Bedrieger noemen. Eerst nam hij mij mijn eerstgeboorterecht af en nu heeft hij mijn zegen ook nog gestolen. Och, hebt u geen enkele zegen meer over voor mij?’ smeekte hij zijn vader. 37 Maar Isaak moest hem teleurstellen. ‘Ik heb hem meester over jou gemaakt en hem jou en alle andere familieleden als dienaren gegeven. Ik heb hem veel koren en wijn beloofd. Wat kan ik jou nog geven?’ 38 Maar Esau bleef vragen: ‘Och, vader, heeft u dan geen enkele zegen meer voor mij?’ en begon te huilen. 39,40 Toen zei Isaak echter: ‘Je zult geen gemakkelijk leven krijgen. Je zult van je zwaard leven. Een tijdlang zul je je broer dienen, maar als je je best doet, zul je je van hem kunnen losmaken en vrij zijn.’
41 Esau haatte Jakob om wat hij had gedaan en dacht bij zichzelf: ‘Vader zal wel snel sterven en dan kan ik Jakob doden.’ 42 Maar iemand kreeg lucht van zijn plan en vertelde het Rebekka. 43 Zij riep Jakob bij zich en vertelde hem dat zijn broer het op zijn leven had voorzien. ‘Je moet naar je oom Laban in Haran vluchten,’ zei zij. 44 ‘Blijf daar tot je broer van gedachten is veranderd en je daad heeft vergeten. 45 Dan zal ik iemand naar je toe sturen. Waarom zou ik jullie allebei op één dag moeten kwijtraken?’ 46 Tegen Isaak zei Rebekka: ‘Ik heb een hartgrondige afkeer van die Hethitische vrouwen van Esau. Ik sterf nog liever dan dat ik Jakob met een van hen laat trouwen.’

Genesis 27
New International Version
27 When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see,(A) he called for Esau his older son(B) and said to him, “My son.”
“Here I am,” he answered.
2 Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death.(C) 3 Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country(D) to hunt some wild game for me. 4 Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like(E) and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing(F) before I die.”(G)
5 Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country(H) to hunt game and bring it back, 6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob,(I) “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau, 7 ‘Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the Lord before I die.’(J) 8 Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you:(K) 9 Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats,(L) so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it.(M) 10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing(N) before he dies.”
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man(O) while I have smooth skin. 12 What if my father touches me?(P) I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse(Q) on myself rather than a blessing.”
13 His mother said to him, “My son, let the curse fall on me.(R) Just do what I say;(S) go and get them for me.”
14 So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.(T) 15 Then Rebekah took the best clothes(U) of Esau her older son,(V) which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob. 16 She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.(W) 17 Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.
18 He went to his father and said, “My father.”
“Yes, my son,” he answered. “Who is it?”(X)
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn.(Y) I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game,(Z) so that you may give me your blessing.”(AA)
20 Isaac asked his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?”
“The Lord your God gave me success,(AB)” he replied.
21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near so I can touch you,(AC) my son, to know whether you really are my son Esau or not.”
22 Jacob went close to his father Isaac,(AD) who touched(AE) him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau;(AF) so he proceeded to bless him. 24 “Are you really my son Esau?” he asked.
“I am,” he replied.
25 Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.”(AG)
Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here, my son, and kiss me.”
27 So he went to him and kissed(AH) him(AI). When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes,(AJ) he blessed him and said,
“Ah, the smell of my son
is like the smell of a field
that the Lord has blessed.(AK)
28 May God give you heaven’s dew(AL)
and earth’s richness(AM)—
an abundance of grain(AN) and new wine.(AO)
29 May nations serve you
and peoples bow down to you.(AP)
Be lord over your brothers,
and may the sons of your mother bow down to you.(AQ)
May those who curse you be cursed
and those who bless you be blessed.(AR)”
30 After Isaac finished blessing him, and Jacob had scarcely left his father’s presence, his brother Esau came in from hunting. 31 He too prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Then he said to him, “My father, please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give me your blessing.”(AS)
32 His father Isaac asked him, “Who are you?”(AT)
“I am your son,” he answered, “your firstborn, Esau.(AU)”
33 Isaac trembled violently and said, “Who was it, then, that hunted game and brought it to me?(AV) I ate it just before you came and I blessed him—and indeed he will be blessed!(AW)”
34 When Esau heard his father’s words, he burst out with a loud and bitter cry(AX) and said to his father, “Bless(AY) me—me too, my father!”
35 But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully(AZ) and took your blessing.”(BA)
36 Esau said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob[a]?(BB) This is the second time he has taken advantage of(BC) me: He took my birthright,(BD) and now he’s taken my blessing!”(BE) Then he asked, “Haven’t you reserved any blessing for me?”
37 Isaac answered Esau, “I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine.(BF) So what can I possibly do for you, my son?”
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.(BG)
39 His father Isaac answered him,(BH)
“Your dwelling will be
away from the earth’s richness,
away from the dew(BI) of heaven above.(BJ)
40 You will live by the sword
and you will serve(BK) your brother.(BL)
But when you grow restless,
you will throw his yoke
from off your neck.(BM)”
41 Esau held a grudge(BN) against Jacob(BO) because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, “The days of mourning(BP) for my father are near; then I will kill(BQ) my brother Jacob.”(BR)
42 When Rebekah was told what her older son Esau(BS) had said, she sent for her younger son Jacob and said to him, “Your brother Esau is planning to avenge himself by killing you.(BT) 43 Now then, my son, do what I say:(BU) Flee at once to my brother Laban(BV) in Harran.(BW) 44 Stay with him for a while(BX) until your brother’s fury subsides. 45 When your brother is no longer angry with you and forgets what you did to him,(BY) I’ll send word for you to come back from there.(BZ) Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I’m disgusted with living because of these Hittite(CA) women. If Jacob takes a wife from among the women of this land,(CB) from Hittite women like these, my life will not be worth living.”(CC)

Giacobbe benedetto al posto di Esaú
27 (A)*Isacco era invecchiato e i suoi occhi indeboliti non ci vedevano piú. Allora egli chiamò *Esaú, suo figlio maggiore, e gli disse: «Figlio mio!» 2 Quello rispose: «Eccomi!» E Isacco: «Ecco, io sono vecchio e non so il giorno della mia morte. 3 Ora prendi, ti prego, le tue armi, le tue frecce e il tuo arco, va' fuori nei campi e prendimi un po' di selvaggina. 4 Poi preparami una pietanza saporita, di quelle che mi piacciono; portamela perché io la mangi e ti benedica prima che io muoia». 5 *Rebecca stava ad ascoltare mentre Isacco parlava a suo figlio Esaú. Ed Esaú se ne andò nei campi per cacciare della selvaggina e portarla a suo padre.
6 Rebecca parlò a suo figlio *Giacobbe e gli disse: «Ho udito tuo padre che parlava con tuo fratello Esaú, e gli diceva: 7 “Portami un po' di selvaggina e fammi una pietanza saporita perché io la mangi e ti benedica davanti al Signore, prima che io muoia”. 8 Ora, figlio mio, ubbidisci alla mia voce e fa' quello che ti comando. 9 Va' al gregge e prendimi due buoni capretti e io ne farò una pietanza saporita per tuo padre, di quelle che gli piacciono. 10 Tu la porterai a tuo padre, perché la mangi e cosí ti benedica prima che egli muoia». 11 Giacobbe disse a Rebecca sua madre: «Mio fratello Esaú è peloso, e io no. 12 Può darsi che mio padre mi tasti e mi consideri un impostore e mi attirerò addosso una maledizione invece di una benedizione». 13 Sua madre gli rispose: «Questa maledizione ricada su di me, figlio mio! Ubbidisci pure alla mia voce e va' a prendermi i capretti». 14 Egli dunque andò a prenderli e li portò a sua madre; e sua madre ne preparò una pietanza saporita, di quelle che piacevano al padre di lui. 15 Poi Rebecca prese i piú bei vestiti di Esaú, suo figlio maggiore, i quali erano in casa presso di lei, e li fece indossare a Giacobbe suo figlio minore; 16 con le pelli dei capretti gli coprí le mani e il collo, che erano senza peli. 17 Poi mise in mano a suo figlio Giacobbe la pietanza saporita e il pane che aveva preparato.
18 Egli andò da suo padre e gli disse: «Padre mio!» Isacco rispose: «Eccomi; chi sei tu, figlio mio?» 19 Giacobbe disse a suo padre: «Sono Esaú, il tuo primogenito. Ho fatto come tu mi hai detto. Àlzati, ti prego, mettiti a sedere e mangia la mia selvaggina, perché tu mi benedica». 20 Isacco disse a suo figlio: «Come hai fatto a trovarne cosí presto, figlio mio?» E quello rispose: «Perché il Signore, il tuo Dio, l'ha fatta venire sulla mia via». 21 Allora Isacco disse a Giacobbe: «Avvicínati, figlio mio, e lascia che io ti tasti, per sapere se sei proprio mio figlio Esaú, o no». 22 Giacobbe s'avvicinò a suo padre Isacco; e, come questi lo ebbe tastato, disse: «La voce è la voce di Giacobbe, ma le mani sono le mani d'Esaú». 23 Non lo riconobbe, perché le sue mani erano pelose come le mani di suo fratello Esaú, e lo benedisse. 24 Disse: «Tu sei proprio mio figlio Esaú?» Egli rispose: «Sí». 25 E Isacco gli disse: «Portami da mangiare la selvaggina di mio figlio, e io ti benedirò». Giacobbe gliene serví, e Isacco mangiò. Giacobbe gli portò anche del vino, ed egli bevve.
26 Poi suo padre Isacco gli disse: «Ora avvicínati e baciami, figlio mio». 27 Egli s'avvicinò e lo baciò. E Isacco sentí l'odore dei vestiti, e lo benedisse dicendo: «Ecco, l'odore di mio figlio è come l'odore di un campo, che il Signore ha benedetto.
28 Dio ti conceda la rugiada del cielo,
la fertilità della terra
e abbondanza di frumento e di vino.
29 Ti servano i popoli
e le nazioni s'inchinino davanti a te.
Sii padrone dei tuoi fratelli
e i figli di tua madre s'inchinino davanti a te.
Maledetto sia chiunque ti maledice,
benedetto sia chiunque ti benedice!»
30 Appena Isacco ebbe finito di benedire Giacobbe e Giacobbe se ne fu andato dalla presenza di suo padre Isacco, Esaú suo fratello giunse dalla caccia. 31 Anch'egli preparò una pietanza saporita, la portò a suo padre e gli disse: «Si alzi mio padre, e mangi della selvaggina di suo figlio, perché mi benedica». 32 Suo padre Isacco gli disse: «Chi sei tu?» Ed egli rispose: «Sono Esaú, tuo figlio primogenito». 33 Isacco fu preso da un tremito fortissimo e disse: «E allora, chi è colui che ha preso della selvaggina e me l'ha portata? Io ho mangiato di tutto prima che tu venissi, e l'ho benedetto; e benedetto egli sarà». 34 Quando Esaú udí le parole di suo padre, emise un grido forte e amarissimo. Poi disse a suo padre: «Benedici anche me, padre mio». 35 Isacco rispose: «Tuo fratello è venuto con inganno e si è preso la tua benedizione». 36 Ed Esaú: «Non è forse a ragione che egli è stato chiamato Giacobbe[a]? Mi ha già soppiantato due volte: mi tolse la mia *primogenitura, ed ecco che ora mi ha tolto la mia benedizione». Poi aggiunse: «Non hai serbato qualche benedizione per me?» 37 Isacco rispose e disse a Esaú: «Io l'ho costituito tuo padrone, gli ho dato tutti i suoi fratelli per servi e l'ho provveduto di frumento e di vino; che potrei dunque fare per te, figlio mio?» 38 Allora Esaú disse a suo padre: «Hai tu questa sola benedizione, padre mio? Benedici anche me, padre mio!» Quindi Esaú alzò la voce e pianse. 39 Suo padre Isacco rispose e gli disse:
«Ecco,
la tua dimora sarà priva della fertilità della terra
e della rugiada che scende dal cielo.
40 Tu vivrai della tua spada,
e sarai servo di tuo fratello;
ma avverrà che, conducendo una vita errante,
tu spezzerai il suo giogo dal tuo collo».
41 (B)Esaú odiava Giacobbe, a causa della benedizione datagli da suo padre, e disse in cuor suo: «I giorni del lutto di mio padre si avvicinano, allora ucciderò mio fratello Giacobbe». 42 Furono riferite a Rebecca le parole di Esaú, suo figlio maggiore, e lei mandò a chiamare Giacobbe, suo figlio minore, e gli disse: «Esaú, tuo fratello, vuole vendicarsi e ucciderti. 43 Ora, figlio mio, ubbidisci alla mia voce; lèvati e fuggi a Caran da mio fratello Labano, 44 rimani laggiú, finché il furore di tuo fratello sia passato, 45 finché l'ira di tuo fratello si sia stornata da te ed egli abbia dimenticato quello che tu gli hai fatto. Allora io manderò a farti ritornare da laggiú. Perché dovrei essere privata di voi due in uno stesso giorno?»
46 Rebecca disse a Isacco: «Sono disgustata a causa di queste donne ittite. Se Giacobbe prende in moglie, tra le Ittite, tra le abitanti del paese, una come quelle, che mi giova la vita?»

King James Version
Genesis 27
King James Version
27 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it to me.
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed:
28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
