44 habitabisque cum eo dies paucos donec requiescat furor fratris tui

Genesis 27:44 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:44

And tarry with him a few days
Which Aben Ezra interprets a few years; rather, as Hiscuni, one year; perhaps it may be better should it be said one or two years; but instead of so short a time Jacob stayed there twenty years, and perhaps Rebekah never saw him anymore, being dead before he returned; after this account, no more mention is made of her: until thy brother's fury turn away;
which she hoped would abate, subside, and be entirely gone in process of time, and especially when the object of it was out of sight, and so it might be thought would be out of mind.

Genesis 27:44 In-Context

42 nuntiata sunt haec Rebeccae quae mittens et vocans Iacob filium suum dixit ad eum ecce Esau frater tuus minatur ut occidat te
43 nunc ergo fili audi vocem meam et consurgens fuge ad Laban fratrem meum in Haran
44 habitabisque cum eo dies paucos donec requiescat furor fratris tui
45 et cesset indignatio eius obliviscaturque eorum quae fecisti in eum postea mittam et adducam te inde huc cur utroque orbabor filio in una die
46 dixit quoque Rebecca ad Isaac taedet me vitae meae propter filias Heth si acceperit Iacob uxorem de stirpe huius terrae nolo vivere
