Genesis 27:41-46
Today's Scripture
Esau was not happy that Jacob got the blessing from Isaac that, as the first born, should have been his. He planned to kill Jacob after his father was dead for his revenge.
Rebekah learned of this plan and decided to kill two birds with one stone. In Genesis 26:34-35 we read: 34 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite. 35 They were a source of grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
So, in order to keep Jacob safe, and to enable him to marry from within their clan, she spoke to Isaac about sending Jacob to find a wife from her brother's family.
Jacob is kept safe, and he can marry a non-Canaanite woman. In the next passages we learn if he has success in his journey, as the servant of Abraham did went he found Rebekah there for Isaac.
