Genesis 28:1-9

1So Isaac summoned Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “Do not marry a Canaanite girl.

2Go at once to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father. Marry one of the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.

3May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you so that you become an assembly of peoples.

4May God give you and your offspring the blessing of Abraham so that you may possess the land where you live as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”

5So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

6Esau noticed that Isaac blessed Jacob and sent him to Paddan-aram to get a wife there. When he blessed him, Isaac commanded Jacob, “Do not marry a Canaanite girl.”

7And Jacob listened to his father and mother and went to Paddan-aram.

8Esau realized that his father Isaac disapproved of the Canaanite women,

9so Esau went to Ishmael and married, in addition to his other wives, Mahalath daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son. She was the sister of Nebaioth.
