Genesis 28:1-9

1So Isaac called Jacob and 1blessed him and commanded him, 2saying to him, “3You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. 2Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of 4Bethuel your mother’s father; and from there take to yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother. 3May 56God Almighty 7bless you and 8make you fruitful and 9multiply you, so that you may become a 10multitude of peoples. 4May He also give you the 11blessing of Abraham, to you and to your 12descendants with you, so that you may 13possess the land where you 14live as a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.” 5Then 15Isaac 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 commanded him, saying, “16You 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 17the daughters of Canaan displeased 18his father Isaac; 9and Esau went to Ishmael, and 19married, 20besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.
