As mentioned here, Jacob was on his way to his uncle’s house fleeing from his older brother Esau’s wrath. This was because he used his older brother’s name and had worn Esau’s clothing and had gone before his father. And he received the blessings that Esau should have received. When Isaac’s eyesight grew dim and could not see anything properly anymore he asked Jacob who was standing before him, “Are you really Esau,” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am your eldest son Esau.” He actually said this to his father. Before this incident, Jacob purchased his birthright with a bowl of lentil stew, and now he received the prayer of blessing from his father instead of Esau. And when his brother found out how he manipulated this, he attempted to kill his younger brother. When this happened Rebekah said to Jacob, “If I don’t do something, I will lose both of my sons in one day. Go to your uncle Laban’s house and stay there for a while and then return later.” Jacob did as his mother said because he was in a dire situation where he had to flee for his life. On his way to Haran, Jacob was blessed by God through a dream while sleeping at Bethel.
