1. Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him: “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
2. Arise, go to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother.
3. “May God Almighty bless you,And make you fruitful and multiply you,That you may be an assembly of peoples;
4. And give you the blessing of Abraham,To you and your descendants with you,That you may inherit the landIn which you are a stranger,Which God gave to Abraham.”
5. So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Padan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
6. Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Padan Aram to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,”
7. and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Padan Aram.
8. Also Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please his father Isaac.
