Genesis 28:1-9

1And IsaacH3327 calledH7121 JacobH3290, and blessedH1288 him, and charged him, and saidH559 to him, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667.

2AriseH6965, go to Padan-Aram, to the houseH1004 of BethuelH1328 thy mother's fatherH1, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 thence of the daughtersH1323 of LabanH3837 thy mother's brotherH251.

3And the AlmightyH7706 1GodH410 blessH1288 thee, and makeH6509 thee fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235 thee, that thou mayest becomeH1961 a companyH6951 of peoplesH5971.

4And may he giveH5414 thee the blessingH1293 of AbrahamH85, to thee and to thy seedH2233 with thee, in order that thou mayest possessH3423 the landH776 of thy sojourning, which 2GodH430 gaveH5414 to AbrahamH85!

5And IsaacH3327 sentH7971 awayH7971 JacobH3290; and he went to Padan-Aram, to LabanH3837 the sonH1121 of BethuelH1328 the Syrian, the brotherH251 of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's motherH517.

6And EsauH6215 sawH7200 that IsaacH3327 had blessedH1288 JacobH3290, and sentH7971 him awayH7971 to Padan-Aram, to takeH3947 a wifeH802 thence, blessingH1288 him, and giving him a charge sayingH559, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667;

7and [that] JacobH3290 had obeyed his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and was gone to Padan-Aram.

8And EsauH6215 sawH7200 that the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667 were evilH7451 in the sight of IsaacH3327 his fatherH1.

9And EsauH6215 went to 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.
