Genesis 27:42-44 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. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;BAnd tarry with him a fedays, until thy brother’s fury turn away;
Jacob himself was a sad illustration of the destructive power of fallen human nature. But yet, he truly loved the Lord, and truly wanted the things of the Lord. He just tried to obtain them in the wrong way. Now, the bitter fruits of sin rise to the surface. That “few days” would turn into twenty years; in fact, Jacob would never see his mother again.
In addition, there is no that Rebekah was concerned about “the daughters of land,” and none of them being a suitable wife for Jacob; however, her real reason at this time for sending Jacob away was not that which she told Isaac. But rather because she feared for his life as it regards the anger of Esau. From this chapter, we learn what a profane person actually is, even as the Holy Spirit describe Esau.
Hebrews 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
It is one who would like to hold both world, one who would like to enjoy the present without forfeiting his title to the future. It is the person who attempts to use God, instead of God using him.
Finally, Genesis 28:1-2 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
It was not the Will of God for Esau or Jacob to marry the daughters of the land, but now that Jacob was the recipient of the Blessing. Thereby the chosen one as it regards the birthright, which had to do with the coming of the Redeemer into the world. It was imperative that he not marry one of the Canaanites girls, as had his brother Esau; their lineage was of the cursed line of Canaan. He was rather to take a wife of one of the daughters of Laban, his mother’s brother.
