This is part of Rebekah's advice to Jacob after he deceived his father Isaac and stole Esau's blessing. Esau was so furious that he planned to kill Jacob, so Rebekah devised a plan to send Jacob away to her brother Laban in Haran. What she thought would be 'a few days' turned into twenty years of separation.
