Genesis 27:41 So Esau bore a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him; and Esau said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

< Genesis 27:40
Genesis 27:42 >

      41. Esau hated Jacob--It is scarcely to be wondered at that Esau resented the conduct of Jacob and vowed revenge.
      The days of mourning for my father are at hand--a common Oriental phrase for the death of a parent.
