1And IsaacH3327 calledH7121 JacobH3290, and blessedH1288 him, and chargedH6680 him, and saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667.

2AriseH6965, goH3212 to Padan–aramH6307, to the houseH1004 of BethuelH1328 thy mother’sH517 fatherH1; and takeH3947 thee a wifeH802 from thence of the daughtersH1323 of LabanH3837 thy mother’sH517 brotherH251.

3And GodH410 AlmightyH7706 blessH1288 thee, and make thee fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 thee, that thou mayest be a multitudeH6951 of peopleH5971;1

4And giveH5414 thee the blessingH1293 of AbrahamH85, to thee, and to thy seedH2233 with thee; that thou mayest inheritH3423 the landH776 wherein thou art a strangerH4033, which GodH430 gaveH5414 unto AbrahamH85.2
