Genesis 27:42

the words of Esau Esau's threat in the previous verse was "said in his heart"; but his was not a nature to keep a secret. His intention was soon the subject of talk.

doth comfort himself A strange, but expressive phrase, lit. "is comforting himself with regard to thee, in order to kill thee": as we should say, "hugs himself," or "takes satisfaction," in the thought that he will shortly kill thee. The versions LXX ἀπειλεῖ "threatens," Lat. minaturtranslate erroneously.
