Book of Jubilees 27:1–27

¹ And the words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebecca in a dream, and Rebecca sent and called Jacob her younger son, (JUB) ² and said unto him: 'Behold Esau thy brother will take vengeance on thee so as to kill thee. (JUB) ³ Now, therefore, my son, obey my voice, and arise and flee thou to Laban, my brother, to Haran, and tarry with him a few days until thy brother's anger turns away, and he remove his anger from thee, and forget all that thou hast done; then I will send and fetch thee from thence.' (JUB) ⁴ And Jacob said: 'I am not afraid; if he wishes to kill me, I will kill him.' (JUB) ⁵ But she said unto him: 'Let me not be bereft of both my sons on one day.' (JUB) ⁶ And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother: 'Behold, thou knowest that my father has become old, and does not see because his eyes are dull, and if I leave him it will be evil in his eyes, because I leave him and go away from you, and my father will be angry, and will curse me. I will not go; when he sends me, then only will I go.' (JUB) ⁷ And Rebecca said to Jacob: 'I will go in and speak to him, and he will send thee away.'

(JUB) ¹² And Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Mesopotamia, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's mother. (JUB) ¹³ And it came to pass after Jacob had arisen to go to Mesopotamia that the spirit of Rebecca was grieved after her son, and she wept. (JUB) ¹⁴ And Isaac said to Rebecca: 'My sister, weep not on account of Jacob, my son; for he goeth in peace, and in peace will he return. (JUB) ¹⁵ The Most High God will preserve him from all evil, and will be with him; for He will not forsake him all his days; (JUB) ¹⁶ For I know that his ways will be prospered in all things wherever he goes, until he return in peace to us, and we see him in peace.
