Μῖσος μὲν δὴ τοῦ λεχθέντος δρασμοῦ γέγονεν αἴτιον, φόβος δὲ τοῦ λεχθησομένου. „εἶπε“ γάρ φησι „Ῥεβέκκα πρὸς Ἰακώβ· ἰδού, Ἠσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἀπειλεῖ σοι ἀποκτεῖναί σε. νῦν οὖν, τέκνον, ἄκουσόν μου τῆς φωνῆς καὶ ἀναστὰς ἀπόδραθι πρὸς Λάβαν τὸν ἀδελφόν μου εἰς Χαρρὰν καὶ οἴκησον μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἡμέρας τινάς, ἕως τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν καὶ τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου, καὶ ἐπιλάθηται ἃ πεποίηκας αὐτῷ· καὶ ἀποστείλασα μεταπέμψομαί σε ἐκεῖθεν“ (Gen. 27,42—45).
