Context
The Stolen Blessing
43So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran. 44Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides— 45until your brother’s rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”…

Stay with him
The Hebrew root for "stay" is "yashab," which means to dwell, sit, or remain. This word implies a temporary but significant period of residing, suggesting a time of refuge and safety. In the context of Jacob's flight to Laban, it underscores the necessity of finding a place of protection and rest. Spiritually, it can be seen as a call to find refuge in God during times of conflict or danger, trusting in His provision and timing.

for a while
The phrase "for a while" is translated from the Hebrew "yamim," which literally means "days." This indicates an indefinite period, emphasizing the uncertainty of the duration of Jacob's stay. Historically, this reflects the unpredictable nature of human emotions and conflicts. It serves as a reminder that while human plans may be uncertain, God's timing is perfect and His plans are ultimately for our good.

until your brother’s fury subsides
The word "fury" comes from the Hebrew "chemah," which denotes intense anger or wrath. Esau's fury is a result of the deception and loss of his blessing, highlighting the deep-seated emotions that can arise from betrayal and injustice. The phrase "subsides" is from the Hebrew "shuv," meaning to turn back or return. This suggests a hope for reconciliation and the calming of anger over time. In a broader scriptural context, it reflects the biblical theme of forgiveness and the restoration of broken relationships, encouraging believers to seek peace and reconciliation, trusting that God can heal even the deepest wounds.

(44) A few days.--Like Esau (Genesis 27:41), Rebekah expected that Isaac's end was near. Really Jacob was absent for forty years, and while Isaac lived to see him return, Rebekah saw him again no more. Yet this was better than for Esau to slay him, and then, like another Cain, to be banished far away.
