Genesis 28:1-9

1So Isaac called Jacob and 1blessed him and charged him, and said to him, “2You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. 2Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of 3Bethuel your mother’s father; and from there take to yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother. 3May 45God Almighty 6bless you and 7make you fruitful and 8multiply you, that you may become a 9company of peoples. 4May He also give you the 10blessing of Abraham, to you and to your 11descendants with you, that you may 12possess the land of your 13sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.” 5Then 14Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

6Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take to himself a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he charged him, saying, “15You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,” 7and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Paddan-aram. 8So Esau saw that 16the daughters of Canaan displeased 17his father Isaac; 9and Esau went to Ishmael, and 18married, 19besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.
