And that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram: that in Revised Standard Version introduces the third clause containing the information that Esau had learned. Good News Translation repeats “learned” for the third time in the form of “found out.” What he found out was that Jacob had obeyed his parents.
