Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.

Genesis 27:42-46

We put another chapter to bed this week! Congrats for that.

We left off with Esau wanting to kill his brother for taking his blessing last week. Now, his mother is telling him to pack up and go to her brother's house until his brother calms down.

She promises that she will send for him when things are safe for him to come home.

She then goes to her husband and tells him how she does not want Jacob marrying a Hittite woman. She basically told him, "I will just die if he marries one of these Hittite women!"

Today's reading

English

But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban my brother in Haran and stay with him a while, until your brother's fury turns away — until your brother's anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I be bereft of you both in one day?"

Then Rebekah said to Isaac, "I loathe my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women like these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?"
