Self Awareness |
and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. |
Government |
42And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, |
Promise |
Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. |
Law |
43Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou |
Grace -in- |
to Laban my brother to Haran; 44And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away; |
God's Rule |
45Until 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? 46And 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? |
