Genesis 28:1-7 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. SO ISAAC called Jacob and blessed him and commanded him, You shall not marry one of the women of Canaan.

2. Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take from there as a wife one of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

3. May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you until you become a group of peoples.

4. May He give the blessing [He gave to] Abraham to you and your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land He gave to Abraham, in which you are a sojourner.

5. Thus Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Padan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob and Esau's mother.

6. Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him to Padan-aram to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him, he gave him a charge, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;

7. And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Padan-aram.
