Genesis 28:1-9

1So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him, “You must not marry a Canaanite woman!

2Leave immediately for Paddan Aram! Go to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and find yourself a wife there, among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.

3May the sovereign God bless you! May he make you fruitful and give you a multitude of descendants! Then you will become a large nation.

4May he give you and your descendants the blessing he gave to Abraham so that you may possess the land God gave to Abraham, the land where you have been living as a temporary resident.”

5So Isaac sent Jacob on his way, and he went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean and brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

6Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him off to Paddan Aram to find a wife there. As he blessed him, Isaac commanded him, “You must not marry a Canaanite woman.”

7Jacob obeyed his father and mother and left for Paddan Aram.

8Then Esau realized that the Canaanite women were displeasing to his father Isaac.

9So Esau went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael, along with the wives he already had.
