Text: Genesis 27: 43-45

MEDITATION

Genesis 27:43-45

43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice: arise, flee to my brother Laban in Haran.
44 And stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away,
45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I be bereaved also of you both in one day?”

MEANINGFUL APPLICATION TO LIFE

1. Rebekah’s advice

a. She wants Jacob to obey her voice again.
b. Her previous advice had led to the anger of Esau against Jacob.
c. Nevertheless, she wants Jacob to obey her in this matter.

2. Fleeing from home

a. Jacob must not risk being in the presence of Esau.
b. He may yet kill him out of sheer anger (even before Isaac’s death).

3. Seeking refuge in the home of Laban

a. Laban was the brother of Rebekah.
b. He lived very far away from Canaan.
c. He should stay there until the fury in Esau was gone.

4. Jacob could plan to return

a. Rebekah would send for him.
b. She too thought that Isaac would die soon.
c. She could not risk losing her son Jacob also.
d. That would be double sorrow for her.

5. On the surface

This sounded like a good and wise plan. But this plan was flawed. She had not included the LORD in all her plans!

经文：创世记 27：43-45

沉思

《创世记 27：43-45》
43 现在，我儿，你要听我的话，起来逃往哈兰我哥哥拉班那里去，
44 同他住些日子，直等你哥哥的怒气消了。

45 你哥哥向你消了怒气，忘了你向他所做的事，我便打发人去把你从那里带回来。为什么一日丧你们二人呢？”

a. 雅各不能冒险地继续与以扫住在一起
b. 以扫可能会出于愤怒而杀死雅各（甚至在以撒去世之前）

3. 在拉班的家中寻求庇护
