Genesis 28:1-9

1And IsaacH3327 calledH7121 JacobH3290, and blessedH1288 him, and charged him, and saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667. 2AriseH6965, go to Paddan-aram, to the houseH1004 of BethuelH1328 thy mother’sH517 fatherH1; and takeH3947 thee a wifeH802 from thence of the daughtersH1323 of LabanH3837 thy mother’sH517 brotherH251. 3And GodH410 AlmightyH7706 blessH1288 thee, and makeH6509 thee fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 thee, that thou mayest beH1961 a companyH6951 of peoplesH5971; 4and giveH5414 thee the blessingH1293 of AbrahamH85, to thee, and to thy seedH2233 with thee; that thou mayest inheritH3423 the landH776 of thy sojourningsH4033, which GodH430 gaveH5414 unto AbrahamH85. 5And IsaacH3327 sentH7971 awayH7971 JacobH3290: and he went to Paddan-aram unto LabanH3837, sonH1121 of BethuelH1328 the Syrian, the brotherH251 of RebekahH7259, Jacob’s and Esau’s motherH517.

6Now EsauH6215 sawH7200 that IsaacH3327 had blessedH1288 JacobH3290 and sentH7971 him awayH7971 to Paddan-aram, to takeH3947 him a wifeH802 from thence; and that as he blessedH1288 him he gave him a charge, sayingH559, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667; 7and that JacobH3290 obeyed his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and was gone to Paddan-aram: 8and EsauH6215 sawH7200 that the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667 pleased not IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; 9and EsauH6215 went unto IshmaelH3458, and tookH3947, besides the wivesH802 that he had, MahalathH4258 the daughterH1323 of IshmaelH3458 Abraham’s sonH1121, the sisterH269 of NebaiothH5032, to be his wifeH802.
