Genesis27:46
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of Heth ; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me ?
Esaus wives who were Hittites, Gen. 26. 34.
Therefore let us, after the Example of Abraham, send him to fetch a wife from his own Kindred. This indeed was one reason, but the other she conceals from Isaac, thus prudently alledging several reasons, one to Iacob, and another, as it is probable, to Esau, and each most sutable to the person to whom she speaks.
