Rebekah's plans also fall flat. She sends
Jacob off so that she will not have to see him die, but in sending him off, she
will never see him ever again. By the time Jacob returns, she will have passed
away. Thus the plans of Isaac and Rebekah are both interrupted. Esau did not
receive the blessing and Jacob was never again seen by this mother. By their interference,
Isaac was prevented from giving what he wanted and Rebekah was prevented from
keeping what she wanted.
