Commento su Genesi 27:46
וַתֹּ֤אמֶר רִבְקָה֙ אֶל־יִצְחָ֔ק קַ֣צְתִּי בְחַיַּ֔י מִפְּנֵ֖י בְּנ֣וֹת חֵ֑ת אִם־לֹקֵ֣חַ יַ֠עֲקֹב אִשָּׁ֨ה מִבְּנֽוֹת־חֵ֤ת כָּאֵ֙לֶּה֙ מִבְּנ֣וֹת הָאָ֔רֶץ לָ֥מָּה לִּ֖י חַיִּֽים׃
Rebecca disse ad Isacco: La vita mi è odiosa, a cagione delle donne hhittee. Se Giacobbe prende in moglie qualche donna hhittea, come son queste, alcuna (cioè) delle donne di questo paese, a che mi giova la vita ?

If Yaakov marries. This was a stratagem to distance Yaakov from Eisov without revealing to Yitzchok the reason for it.

Or HaChaim on Genesis
קצתי בחיי. "I am fed up with my life." She did not want to reveal the true reason for her state of mind because it is forbidden to tell tales. This is why she gave Isaac a different reason for wanting Jacob sent away. When she had revealed Esau's intention to Jacob this was not tale-bearing but was fulfilment of the commandment in the second half of the verse dealing with tale bearing, "do not stand idly by when the blood of your fellow man is being shed" (Leviticus 19,16).
