Rebekah is telling Jacob to stay away temporarily until Esau's rage subsides and it's safe to return.

📚 Historical Context

In the book of Genesis, Jacob had deceived his brother Esau by tricking him out of his birthright and later stealing their father Isaac's blessing, which deepened the rift between them. This act provoked Esau's intense anger and led him to plot revenge against Jacob. Rebekah, their mother, advised Jacob to flee to her brother Laban in Haran and wait there until Esau's fury subsided.
