Genesis 28:1-4

1So IsaacH3327 calledH7121 JacobH3290 and 1blessedH1288 him and commandedH6680 him, 2saying to him, “3You shall not takeH3947 a wifeH802 from the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667.

2AriseH6965, goH1980 to Paddan-aramH6307, to the houseH1004 of 4BethuelH1328 your mother’sH517 fatherH1; and from thereH8033 takeH3947 to yourself a wifeH802 from the daughtersH1323 of LabanH3837, your mother’sH517 brotherH251.

3May 56GodH410 AlmightyH7706 7blessH1288 you and 8makeH6509 you fruitfulH6509 and 9multiplyH7235 you, so that you may becomeH1961 a 10multitudeH6951 of peoplesH5971.

4May He also giveH5414 you the 11blessingH1293 of AbrahamH85, to you and to your 12descendantsH2233 with you, so that you may 13possessH3423 the landH776 whereH4033 you 14liveH4033 asH4033 aH4033 strangerH4033, whichH834 GodH430 gaveH5414 to AbrahamH85.”
