Genesis 27:42

When Rebekah heard what her older son Esau had said, ¹  she quickly summoned ²  her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is planning to get revenge by killing you. ³ 

Ge 37:18-20; Ge 42:21,22; 1Sa 30:5; Job 20:12-14; Ps 64:5; Pr 2:14; Pr 4:16,17

¹ tn Heb “and the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah.”

² tn Heb “she sent and called for.”

³ tn Heb “is consoling himself with respect to you to kill you.” The only way Esau had of dealing with his anger at the moment was to plan to kill his brother after the death of Isaac.
