Remember: Jacob left town (ch 27) because of the conflict with Esau. While out of town Jacob builds his family and returns to Canaan. He and Esau reunite - then things get too crowded. Esau is the one to leave. REASON --> the land was promised to Jacob as part of the Abrahamic covenant. Also remember this is part of the birthright stolen from Esau.
